Sorry, but I just couldn't do it. I loved Ms. Bear's other series, which starts with Hammered, but this one, an "urban fantasy" featuring a battle between faeries and magicians (I think), I just couldn't do. Not my stuff at all. The beginning also reminded me of Sergei Lukyanenko's Night Watch...more...

Having read a lot of urban fantasy recently, I had a hard time getting into this book -- it's really quite good, but it didn't really start to stand out for me until about halfway through.
If you like urban fantasy that happens more on the Fae side than the mortal, you'll probably like th...more...

Perhaps it was my fault, because I was under the impression Kit Marlowe, Shakespeare, Queen Bess, and hijinks were contained within this book. But apparently they come later in the series. I just could not get into it. The characters all seemed terribly flat and hard to connect with. The writing was...more...

I really wanted to like this book, I did. But it seems to me that all urban fantasy ends up sounding like it was written in 1986, no matter how contemporary it is, and this one has the added drawbacks of too many (indistinguishable, and unlikeable) characters, competing mythologies, and too much int...more...

This book only gets four stars because the last half of the book was awesome. I don't really know why there is this idea in sci-fi/fantasy that leaving your reader totally in the dark is a good thing. Only sheer stubbornness got me through what amounted to almost two hundred and fifty pages of total...more...

I'm still struggling a bit with this book. I enjoy it a lot, but there are times when I feel I don't know enough fairy tales -- as in tales of the fey -- when I read it, so there are some allusions I miss that would add depth to my understanding.
I enjoy it a lot, however, and my four sta...more...

a steady start that takes a pace drawing the reader in. [return]with the mortal and fairy worlds having some overlap and sometimes entwined, rivalries within each, personal agendas and long timeless histories are carefully woven into a book that takes it's theme from the ballad of tam lin and gently...more...

I'm not the biggest fan of urban fantasy. To be honest, I am not even sure to what extent this novel fits that genre. Anyway, while this book didn't change my mind about urban fantasy it was quite readable.
This story deals with the intersections between faerie and the real world and a th...more...

Here is the one sentence version of this review: This is a gorgeous, gorgeous book that confused the heck out of me!
Want more?
All right, first off, let me start by explaining that I am a complete nut about faeries---the old-style, human-sized version of them, seductive and amoral, that ...more...

I really wanted to like this book more. I am a fan of the author, though I have only read her SF books before this one.
I can't put my finger on the problems exactly, though this is what seemed to me to be issues:
The book started out jumping around with several differen...more...
