Ah, the classic blend of romance and fantasy - who couldn't love that? At the start, the fantasy doesn't come on too strong; instead, the reader is greeted with a father-daughter-like relationship, some animal conservation conversation, and one pretty darn normal protagonist. This is a great set-up for all the magic to come, and eases the reader into a level of familiarity with the characters and world that typically takes much longer to build in fantastical tales. With a simple, yet aesthetically-pleasing cover and an equally simple and pleasing opener, this book promises not to disappoint anyone who believes in love and magic.
