I thought I would stab my eyes out if I had to read yet another scene of David and Laurel making out. There is very little interaction with the trolls- the series bad guys- in the book, so most of Pike's time is spent explaining her faery world and having Laurel fluctuate between David and Tamani. I didn't think it was possible for the writing to get worse, but I was wrong. Honestly, the people who have given this book high ratings have either a) never read any faery books before in their lives, or b) have never read a well-written book. (Don't even get me started on what she does to Shakespeare!) I'm sorry, you can't just change such a significant person as Eve and make her a faery without offering any explanation! Yet, that's what she does. Why? What do the humans say about her?''Īnd that's the only information we're given. Several paragraph's later, at the end of the scene on page 103, Laural 'look over at Katya, one eyebrow raised. And then there was that disgraceful incident with Eve.'' But it seems like relationships between humans and faeries always end badly.' 'It's been a long time since Avalon involved itself in human affairs. 'The look on Katya's face was one of genuine concern. On page 102, during a scene in which Laurel is discussing her relationship with David with her faery friend, Katya, we have the following scene: And it all started with the revelation that Eve- yes, THAT Eve, mother of humankind for Christians and Jews- was a faery.

I thought 'Wings' was bad, but this just takes it to a whole new level.
