I admit it, I got this book because of the cover picture, and the basic premise reads like a "Rule of Awesome" example: A 1400 year old proto-irish lesbian harpist has to learn rock and roll to save her lover from the Fair Folk.

However, once you get past the premise and into the book and a bit of a slow start, it's actually a really nice tale of redemption, and I really felt for the characters--to the point where I finished the book in a single sitting.
