anhundred 's review for:
Ballad: A Gathering of Faerie
by Maggie Stiefvater
This is one of my favorite books, all by itself. When I picked it up I didn't realize that it was part of a series, and I didn't even notice until after I was done. It only relates a little bit to Lament (which I read later) and you don't even need much of the backstory.
I loved they way this book was written, with all of James' wittiness and snark. I didn't like Dee much, having started with James' pov, which is probably why I didn't like Lament as much as Ballad.
Having James play the pipes was a very original concept, because not many people like bagpipes and even fewer people play them. The Celtic-ness of this whole world was very well done, in my opinion.
This story is dark and magical, and I have read it many a time and will continue to read it!
