This was okay, but not at all what I expected. The jacket flap calls it a retelling of A Midsummer Night's Dream, but the term "retelling" is pretty loosely applied here. It is a story of the human and fairy worlds colliding on the night of the solstice, and Oberon, Titania, Puck, and the rude mechanicals are present, but that's about as far as the similarities go. About halfway in, I was starting to get frustrated that the story was still slogging through the human characters' backstories and no one was running around falling mistakenly in love with anyone else. Still, Adrian does a good job ultimately weaving together the details he spends so much time laying out.
