The writing is flowing and engaging. Tamisin is a mature heroine and surprisingly solves diplomatic and political problems as more of an adult, then her 2000+ year old fairy queen mother, who comes across as a blend of self absorbed 13 year old with permanent temper-tantrum, (a.e. poorly done). The king of goblins is rather flat and a convenient figure to complete the story. Cousin Nico was well done, I hated him from the begging for being so mean. His mother Lidia was sketchy and her meanness was poorly reasoned out. Over all it was an interesting read, but it has room for improvement. It is and average YA read.
