For seventeen-year-old actress Kelley Winslow, life isn't going too badly. Sure, the director for the production of A Midsummer Night's Dream that she is in is, umm, demanding, but she's landed a good role. She's playing Titania, the fairy queen. Then, suddenly, her life is starting to fray at the edges. There's a horse on her bathtub, a wierdo is apparently stalking her, and she may be the long-lost daughter of the faerie king, Auberon. Oh, and the gates to Faerie are about to open, which is BAD. I've given the lecture on faeries elswhere, and I'm not giving it again. For Sonny Flannery, the afformentioned wierdo, life is emphatically not going that well. He is one of the guards for the gates of Faerie, and with the gates about to open, his workload is going way up. Then there's the fact that he's found King Auberon's daughter, and he may be falling in love with her. Oh, and another faerie queen, Mahb, wants to awaken the Wild Hunt. Again, NOT GOOD. The Wild Hunt is a faerie war band. They are evil, ok? They love killing and destruction, and they really don't like people all that much. Therefore, their being awakened is BAD, got it?
I really liked this book. The plot is great, the writing is good, and the faeries are just the sort I like. Look for the description in the Glossary if you need more info. Puuurrrrr, good book. Fans of Lament and Impossible may like this one.
