Aidan's father has stopped giving child support, which puts them-- he, his mom, and younger sister, Sarah-- in dire straits. This leaves no choice for his mom, who then decided to go back to her childhood home where her father still leaves. On their last leg of the journey, Aidan learns that his grandfather, who's also part of a bizarre and a bit fanatic religious cult, hates him because he thinks that Aidan's a Sidhe. Already feeling uneasy about this move, Aidan secretly wishes that he's somewhere else.

Quite a great, enjoyable read. The art style is beautiful, especially the toners in the background, like in the panels that show the primordial woods-- they're very atmospheric and quite effective for setting up the overall tone of this volume. The storytelling is fluid and each panel serves a purpose in delivering a seamless storytelling without feeling like some details are left out or rushed. I'm quite excited to continue reading this series. ( )

Pretty good. I like the story line so far. It's too bad I don't want to spend the crazy money to buy the other fifteen million volumes. ( )
