Like many people, I love the idea of faeries and of magic, but am extremely skeptical about them. The author claims to be as well, and whether or not it's true skepticism or just a clever way to draw you into her world, this book is no utterly enchanting. In the end, I think the book is less about believing in magic than about the amazing things that can happen when you learn to be open, follow your intuition, and truly connect to the world around you–both the physical earth and with other beings.
