When I find myself skimming entire sections I know that I'm just not connecting with a book on some level. I wish that I could put my finger on it. I loved the first book, but this one just didn't seem to have the same spark. Perhaps it's because there's really nothing to root for. In the first book we rooted for Nick to find her happiness. In this one we root for...well...I guess we root for Faerie to be free? I don't know, because we never really get to see much of it, we don't get to invest in the place or the Fey. The plot seems thin and the last part of the book seems rushed, even perhaps a bit predictable.
