I have to admit I've never been much of a fan of fae, mainly because they kind of freak me out. Well, at least the stories that I feel reflect the reality of the fae--the beautiful but crewel and amoral (if not evil) version thereof. They're just a little...creepy. Anyhow, this book really brought that home, and the goblins as they're called here are distinctly creepy. That being said, I really enjoyed the book. The myths and stories that explained the world were really well done and quite engaging. I liked Teagan quite a bit, and her brother was just too cute. I could have handled getting to know Finn a little more, but I imagine there's more to come in the rest of the series. Overall, this was a fun and satisfying read. Lots of interesting details and an interesting world to get lost in!
Have you read this one? What do you think of the fae?
I'm not much into this sort of stuff either. But... I just LOVE the cover and that alone would draw me to it.

It's definitely one to bump up! :)
DeleteThat's a really cool cover. I tend to like books that freak me out, too. ;)
ReplyDeleteThey tend to keep me glued to the pages, that's for sure!
DeleteGorgeous cover, and the description sounds like fun. And I like a bit of creepy. Thanks for the review! Added it to my TBR list.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy it!!
DeleteIt's a beautiful cover, Meradeth!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review. Cover is intriguing.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteIt's hard to make original mythology, so that part is impressive.
ReplyDeleteRight? It is really hard to pull off, so this was a great aspect! :)
DeleteI used to love fae books, but then read too many and got burnt out. But goblins? Those sound interesting!
ReplyDeleteThey're this strange goblin/fae mix, but it works :)
DeleteHah! I know what you mean about the Fae world being a bit on the creepy side. I'm a huge fan of Karen Marie Moning and all of her books tread along that dark, creepy line. Tyger Tyger certainly sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteOooh, totally going to have to check her books out :) Thanks for the rec!!
DeleteThis is creepy. I don't read a lot of speculative fiction, but this sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteI started Colors of Memory, by the way. I'm enjoying it so much.
Yay! So glad you're liking it!! :)
DeleteSounds intriguing!
