This book dragged on a little long but wrapped things up nicely. The Faire is still pretty horrifying, though. Now that it's not taking people against their will, I hope something can be done about the people who were unwillingly transformed.  
  
The entire book was very tense because it opened with a dilemma for Cora, and the possibility of violence and torture. In my opinion, the books could probably have been condensed into just 5 instead of 6. All the same, it wasn't a bad book. It felt a little like the Faire got de-fanged, but it sort of needed to for the happily ever after. Overall, an enjoyable conclusion to the series.
