I wasn't a huge fan of the first book and this one had many of the same problems, amplified. The writing is so basic, even for a young adult book. Characters' personalities are surface level. The world of the fairies is at least interesting, and I did choose to read the second book in the series. However, this is not a book that sticks with you. It's a quick read.
