The premise sounds great: fairies and gnomes live together in a tiny mining city, and if most fairies lose a body part or five to gnomes' voracious appetites, well, it comes with the territory. But then a third race starts a war, and the uneasy balance between the fairies and gnomes shifts forever. It's so bad. The writing style is very self-conscious and larded with "pasted in" notes a la the Froud fairy books. It reads like a fifteen year old's labored attempt to mimic Chuck Palahniuk and early Poppy Z Brite. The characters don't read like people, the plot makes no sense, and it lacks all narrative tension. I started reading this aloud to my coworkers and got gales of laughter in return. I would like to thank NetGalley and Chronicle Books for providing me an ARC copy of this, all opinions are my own. At A Glance Genre: Young Adult; Fae Love Triangle/Insta Love?: Love triangle. Cliff Hanger: nope. Rating: 3 Stars. Score Sheet All out of ten Cover: 9 Plot: 5 Characters: 7 World Building: 7 Flow: 4 Series Congruity: n/a Writing: 7 Ending: 8 Total: 7 In Depth Best Part: Pretty pictures! Worst Part: Misplaced genre Overall Feels Felt: Pretty pics; Whoa; Cute ending! Conclusion Continuing the Series: n/a Recommending: eh. see short review first. Misc.: ARC copy. Short Review: Okay so this book was okay. Honestly they genre should be different maybe. The fae part is only maybe 10%. The rest is sex! THIS WHOLE BOOK IS ABOUT SEX! I didn't know that going in but that's all they talk about. They have to sell their bodies to get more food and that's all that goes down most of the time. If i knew that i doubt i would have requested a copy. So beware of that. Oh and you really never know who is writing this "book". it's confusing at times and i just gave up trying to figure it out.

Fantasy.
Young Adult Fiction.
Sixteen-year-old Beckan and her friends are the only fairies brave enough to stay in Ferrum when war breaks out. Now there is tension between the immortal fairies, the subterranean gnomes, and the mysterious tightropers who arrived to liberate the fairies. But when Beckan's clan is forced to venture into the gnome underworld to survive, they find themselves tentatively forming unlikely friendships and making sacrifices they couldn't have imagined. As danger mounts, Beckan finds herself caught between her loyalty to her friends, her desire for peace, and a love she never expected. This stunning, lyrical fantasy is a powerful exploration of what makes a family, what justifies a war, and what it means to truly love. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

This book wants so badly to be tough and edgy and Older Teen that it worries too much about having enough body horror and "fuck"s and prostitution and not enough about having a well-built world and a semi-sensical plot. There were points, even, where the characters were indistinguishable. It took me until the end to even have any sliver of a clue of what the author was trying to do and then it just felt like heavy-handed metaphor and...Maybe this is only a two-star book after all. I'm going to leave it at three, though because I think that its target audience (which is thirty years younger than I am) will appreciate it more than I did. ( )
