I'm not quite finished with this book but it is thus far amazing. I've hardly been able to put it down!
It's a great twist on fae lore and the actual quotes from fae (spelled ‘fay' in this book) historians of the British isles at the beginning of each chapter really add something special. I'd highly recommend this book to fans of Brian Froud (the fae are described much how his faeries look) and those sick of reading about good little sprites and want some real action.
It helps that the men in the book are very sexy, too. ;)
Re-read 11/2016: Not as into it 10 years later. I liked Keenan a lot more but found Ash to he a bit Mary Sue. I was rooting for Beira the whole time.
