I started off Loving this book....it was so dark and mysterious and it kicked off right from the beginning with excitement and twists. I believe it is obviously a personal preference but I thought it strange MacGregor mention something about CDs and DVDs a few chapters in. I don't like timed pieces that are so beautifully written mixed with time travel. For me it just takes away from my true escape 'in a land far far away' kind of thing... It was only a little so I moved on, but then it was like after they made love the tone of the book completely changed! All of the sudden the dialogue went from eloquence of the middle ages to a Buffy the Vampire slayer book-hokey. I don't mind humor, don't get me wrong, but just the whole tone and vibe just changed, and as I said before I am not a fan of time travel from old England to modern day NYC with Starbucks. So I actually just got turned off with the story and couldn't finish. I HATE that! If you don't mind such, then I'm sure you'll enjoy but I just enjoy a different kind of story, or at least not one that goes from mysterious lands of the Fey to modern day NYC, and where all of the sudden one of the characters start speaking like Joey Buttafuoco. It was disappointing. I almost ordered the second book cuz it started off so awesome, but now I will dig and do more research to see if it has the same stuff.
