This is the worst thing I've read in a long time. This book was a mess. First of all, no chapter should be 3 hours long. Pretty much every character in the book was a horndog, obsessed with boobs, nipples, and such. A lot of the annoying things are most likely to do with the editing, but quite often days passed and point of view characters changed between sentences with no indication whatsoever. Not confusing at all!

It was amazing. Characters that were believable and lovable, and a really interesting look at faerie lore.

It’s a product of the 80s and a dude with a lot of focus on children and sex. The mythology is good. As a bibliography of old fairy tales, it’s QUITE good. I don’t really want to revisit it, though.

Sans doute un de mes romans préférés de fantasy. C'était ma deuxième lecture, et j'ai quand même été complètement happée, et incapable de le lâcher. Feist trouve un équilibre rare entre le réel et le merveilleux, et m'a donné envie de me plonger dans les mythes celtes.

The book is mostly boring, the characters aren`t interesting the dialogue is wooden the romantic relationship has no feelings in it. The faeries only come in towards the end and don`t really do anything. Feist is trying for a pastiche of normal life for most of the book but he lacks the skills to make it feel close.
