3.5 to 3.75. When I was about a third of the way through I thought "goddamnit this is going to be another trilogy". When I was three quarters through I thought "goddammit this is a standalone." Don't get me wrong - I love series, but I hate having to wait for the next book. But I also want to stay with characters and their stories long enough for everything to play out. There was lots to enjoy in the book, but I found things wrapped up a bit too quickly and I really wanted to spend more time with the characters, worlds and ideas Willows introduced. Similar to the Fury series, Willow has inserted the idea of myth or fairy/folk tales being real and inter-related with the "real world". It reminded me a bit of the Fable comic series -but only in the idea that fairy tales/fable characters are real. The premise was interesting and, due to my own fascination with myths/folk/fairytales, I was sucked in quickly. Willows has a great knack of blending worlds and I do love her stuff. Hopefully all is not happily ever after and we'll get a chance to read another book about Maggie, Kody and the rest.
