I really enjoyed the characters in this book, there are many and some have very little page time but they all feel complex and realistic.Â
The folklore aspects of the story were interesting, but found that all the more magical parts of the story from Sara or Kieranâs point of view were boring when compared with the Blue, Tucker, Jamie storylines that took place mostly in the âworld of the here and nowâ. The other world story lines outside of Tamson house didnât seem particularly important, even the climactic parts like Kieranâs duel feel like they have no affect on the overall plot or his character.
My one other critique is the Kieran and Sara romances of the story feel shallow. They fall in love in a timespan of a day which to me made the intense feelings that they had for their partners feel fake. That being said the non romantic relationships plus Blue/Sally and Tucker/Maggie romances felt a lot more real and I really enjoyed most of the characters relationships and their dialogue be quite funny, heartwarming, and gut wrenching.
