I would not call this book a paranormal romance, like it says in the spine, since it has very little in the way of romantic happennings. I'd say that it is more like a Lord of the Rings for females, since instead of 2 homo-erotic hobbits, it's centered around a couple (Rainier and Elysetta) and the way they interact with their quickly crumbling society. A war in the making, evil rumbles in Mordor... err the Eld lands; evil mages, petty jealousies getting in the way of truth, prejudice between the rich and the poor, strife between the beautiful and the mundane... JRR Tolkien would be proud.
Structurally speaking, once you get used to the mind-talking of the Fey, the story flows at a nice pace. The background grips you and becomes another character in the novel, which is something not every author can do.
I'd certainly recommend this book to those wanting a little romance in their fantasy.
