Review Detail

It was a really great book and my only complaint with it was that it was somewhat short at only 247 pages. The book is set in a future where faeries appeared in the modern world and waged a war against humans. As a result of the war, the modern items we take for granted such as cars, televisions, planes, radios, etc. have all been destroyed and nature has been infected with faerie magic. Trees attack humans, rocks glow with an unnatural light that burns at the slightest touch, and as such, all magic has been cast out as evil and dangerous. After the death of her magical sister (at her father's hands) and the disappearance of her mother, Liza is distressed to find that she is starting to exhibit signs of having magic as well. As such, Liza runs from her abusive father and sets out on a quest to find her mother. Overall, I really did enjoy this book! The characters and setting were both complex and entertaining, and I would definitely read a sequel.
