Not bad, not great. The story's decent, warring Fey tribes, a stolen pixie dust shipment, an adult human who can see faeries, but how? It's not a bad story, but it needs to be fleshed out- we don't know why the tribes are fighting, there's not much information on the faerie world and how it works, you just get thrown in. It's a bit disjointed and hard to get into, but gets better at the end, where we get a truly creepy villain based on a real world serial killer (there's a brief bio of him after the story). The artwork's bright and pretty, and it was nice to see an older woman as the heroine!

I will say right up front the story line is a 4 star read, the illustrations are a 2 star. Why do men feel the need to draw women, even fantasy women so scantily clad, with extremely large breasts and tiny waists. Do you not realize that for most women this would be a hindrance!! It is for that reason this story rates a 3 star. There are two types of fairies: those in the air and those on the ground. Those on the ground are considered an inferior race, but they blind and null the powers of the queens best inquisitor. But fairies have a long life, even when they have no powers, and the queen will need her inquisitor to figure out who has stolen a fairy dust shipment. A crazy adult has figured out how to spot fairies, and now wants their power, and will do anything to get it. I like that the adult in is story is very loosely modeled after a real person. It gave me something to look further research. And I do want to see how this story will progress. I really want to know where the blade that took the Inquisitors powers came from, and if she will ever get her powers back. There are places that this story can go. No if only it had a better illustrator.
