Music, magic, and monsters oh my! This book was an absolutely magical read. I love stories with fae when written well (and this definitely falls in that category). Merry is proof that there are more ways to have a voice than speaking, and the bonds of friendship run deep. The song lyrics added just the right touch to the overall mesmerizing quality of Mel's storytelling. Having read this I definitely plan on going back and reading book one too! ( )
