For with the Magic came the Bad Thing, and the Faerie, and then the cool. . .and the resurrection of a primordial war with a forgotten people-a war that not only the Hastings but the whole human race could lose.From the Paperback edition.
Disliked
MixedAnd here, I was really vibing with the characters, and I was vibing with the world, and I was vibing with everything about this book. And it like Raymond Eyee Feice is just amazing except there's just there's a sexual assault scene within this book that I just don't think was handled particularly well. It hasn't aged particularly well.
Review 1 of 2
Mixedthe first two thirds of the book was this really suspenseful slow build with some great horror elements that would make stephen king proud this sense of doom is permeating the text and then the last third of the book it totally changed tone it's sped up there's this big exposition dump and it was frankly it was a it was a great disappointment
