This book was hard going, but I felt like I had to keep at it, that something might happen in it that would make it all worth while. It didn't. I didn't like Shade's name and I don't like the cover. The book was a slow starter, the dialogue jarred and the description was clunky. It seemed to me like a mash-up of Holly Black's Modern Faerie series and Tolkien's Fellowship of the Ring. It's a shame because I wanted to like this book. I think this was four or five drafts away from a good book. 2 Stars.
