Promising, but it fell flat for me. Perhaps it just didn't work as an audiobook... the story jumped around from character to character and I found I didn't really care about any of them. The friendships felt flimsy so by the end of the book I was just waiting for it to wrap up.

Oh, boy. This was lovely. There were parts that I worried might turn too dark, but trust me -- they are not. Just enough shadow to give definition and plausibility to this very magical story. If you are a fan of Sarah Addison Allen or Ellen Herrick, you'll almost certainly like this. Especially if you are an Anglophile, like I am.
