This book has a lovely storyline, and the concept of it is good. However it took me months to finish it, I just couldn't keep my attention focused on it, meanwhile I finished 2 other books. I love retellings of Tatiana and Mab and the faery courts. This concept of the May Queen coming to the Realm t...
Sinisterly Beautiful!Filled with beautiful imagery and mysterious characters. This story really brought out the dangerous world of the fey and kept you guessing. You never could tell who was truly a friend or a foe. I liked that things weren't always so black and white in this story as far as what c...
This was a hard read, not because it was awful, rather I just had a hard time keeping up with the story. For some reasons, I'd get distracted by something else every other page or two. But after a hundred pages or so, it was all good.God, I love Jack. He's probably the main reason why I'm giving thi...
I LOVED this book! I've always had a special place in my heart for fairy tales. After all, they are the original urban fantasy. As they say in the song, Treachery made all the right moves in all the right places. There was one dream sequence that was not handled well, but aside from that technical n...
A beautifully written and engaging story. It was much darker than I expected. It was more old world fairy story. The story moved along at a steady pace and the characters were wonderfully written. I especially liked when it was written from Jack's point of view. The ending had me in tears. It think ...
I love me a good Fae book, and this one really shines. Yes, some suspension of disbelief was necessary, but then, that's sort of a requirement when reading faery tales, isn't it? I don't read these kind of books because they are real. I read them because they are strange and wonderful and impossible...
Guys, you may have noticed I don't exactly read a lot of faery books. There's one really good reason for it: I'm not such a fan of this specific type of paranormal. But in The Treachery of Beautiful Things I have found a faery book to LOVE! HOORAY!The tree-swallowing-boy thing made me decide to give...
"The Treachery of Beautiful Things" by Ruth Frances Long is a fairy tale turned nightmare. It's also a bit confusing at the start but entrancing at the same time.It all started when the trees swallowed Jenny's brother. Seven years later, she finally has the courage to try to find out what happened t...
One of the things I loved best about The Treachery of Beautiful Things was that it kept to the more traditional faerie lore -- think more A Midsummer Night s Dream and less Wings. And several favorites from the Shakespearian comedy appear in the novel, as well, making it feel as if I was visiting ...
