Discovering the truth about herself, she agrees to go along with a plan to disrupt the human sacrifice that binds her faery friends to unkind masters. But she is to be the human sacrifice, and not everyone has been telling her the truth...

This definitely was not one of the better faerie books. It wasn’t terrible but it wasn’t something I really enjoyed either. It was just really strange. I didn’t understand why a lot of things were happening. The main character was stupid which made the book that much harder to enjoy. The plot wasn’t terrible but it wasn’t the greatest. The start was definitely the worst part because you hate everyone and everything but later on it gets a little easier to like some things. I don’t really have much to say about this one. I didn’t enjoy it but i didn’t hate it.
