A story combining fantasy, love and mystery with a
wand of magic. It really is magic that
weaves the characters together into a nice storyline. You want to see what happens, and actually
aren't sure at times which character to root for.
Ah, the love of youth. Who said that? I don't think the delight, the depth, or the need
of love change at any age. It stays just
as exuberant, and enveloping whether you're 16 or 86, and the emotions these
characters make you feel, explodes that theory.
Some and maybe many of the thoughts and statements
made by Abbey, the lead character, will remind you of yourself at some point in
your life. Her raw honesty and
vulnerability, yet solid determination and integrity make you really feel and
know her as a real person you would have had as your best friend. You just like her. She doesn't do the stupid, 'I saw that
coming' things that many authors create.
What she does do, and surmising you think 'oh here it is', doesn't turn
out to be what you expected, at least not for me. As I said, I thought the character was
solid. She made me really like her.
The supporting characters each had their defined
personalities and made it easy for you to cling, support, or dislike them. Although even the ones you didn't like too
well, were integrated and developed so you still liked and maybe even admired
some part of them. The two guys (men) or
whatever, kept you thinking and wondering, and were amazingly well done. Their emotions brought you straight to their
core wanting to not only know more, but meet someone just like them in the real
world. Their reveal was slow and steady
until it built to the point of where you had to know what was happening
next. You wanted to know them, you
wanted to protect them, fight with them, and make them happy. It was exacerbating and exhilarating at the
same time.
I really wasn't expecting a love story to this
degree, but the authors really did a great job of reeling you in and keeping
you there. The fantasy makes the
storyline so much fun and unexpected at times but the love interests are what
kept me attached page after page. I had
to know how it turned out.
Saying I enjoyed the book would be true, but in
reality I totally loved the whole story, how it was written, the characters,
the creativity, and I'm exited their story will continue. It's just one of those books that have to
have a sequel, and I can't wait for it.
If you like love stories, and/or fantasies, then you will really enjoy
this book. Buy it, you will be glad you
did, and waiting for the sequel like me.
