I've had this standing on my tbr-shelves for ages, and finally got around to reading it. Unfortunately it wasn't quite as good as I had expected, although still good enough to hold my attention nicely the few days it took me to finish it.The book is really two intertwining stories, with every second...

Intriguing twist on the world of fantasy. I was totally engrossed in this book from page one. The narrator switch from hobgoblin/child to child/hobgoblin was a delight to me, I loved hearing the different viewpoints of their parallel yet wildly differing worlds especially along the points where they...

4.5 stars. I couldn't quite bring myself to give this five stars because it didn't completely engulf me, but it was better than most of the books I've given four stars lately. This was a beautifully sad story about a boy stolen by the changelings, the changeling who took his place, and the little wa...
