I'm torn between 3 and 4 stars on this, so I'm going to go with 3.5.

I really liked the story and was engaged through much of the book. However sometimes I felt like I couldn't quite tell who the intended audience was. There were certain parts where I felt like I was ready a fairly tell for young children (I think mostly during the part when first Meghan enters Nevernever), but the nature of the fairies and the language used by characters definitely felt for more of an older YA audience.

But I really enjoyed the author's writing (especially since I was comparing it to the last book I read where I felt the author left something to be desired in the writing style) and the characters were fantastic. I can't even begin talking about Prince Ash....

And, the moment I finished, I started reading the second book, which so far I'm loving! So I'm definitely looking forward to how this series progresses.
