review 1: I really enjoyed this book. It started a bit slow for me as we get into the world but Angela did a good job with the world building by the end of the book. I like how Paul and Rory didn't just jump into bed with each other. They spent most of the book getting to know each other and building trust. I loved Rory's reaction when they finally (as it seemed to him) came and rescued him (although I would have liked to see Rory's reaction when they told him how little time had passed in the real world). I cannot wait to read more about this world and hope the author plans to write another full length book (as opposed to the few follow up short stories that are currently out). 4 stars.
review 2: 3.5 stars.This is a tricky review for me - there is a lot to like but I fo... moreund the pacing or the focus to be all over the place. Certainly the concept of magic potential in humans being discussed in genetic terms was interesting, as was the explanation of the various fae. Unfortunately though, I found the dynamics between the two main characters difficult with Rory being almost TSTL, and Paul see-sawing between compassion and carelessness. I found the HFN ending less than convincing given all that had passed before. I also felt bogged down at times with the time spent focusing on Rory's wavering belief in Magic etc. At the opposite end of the spectrum, the magical demesne scenes were pretty light-weight. Personally, I think I would have enjoyed the two spectrums to be more balanced. Perhaps this will be resolved by the release of the next installment which I'd probably read just so that this one can get the resolution it's lacking. less
