Title: Loved it
Review: I haven't read a book in a long time that was as delightfully original as this one. Magic isn't just waving a wand and crying out some magic words. It is at times as fresh and beautiful like an English garden, such as a street in London transforming into a Faerie forest, and the little box "the color of Heartache," and at times fascinatingly dark and macabre, like a bottomless Tower of Eternal Darkness following the magician, or the Faerie's nonchalant murders, like when he was extracting the essence of a kiss from women's lips.The author also added depth to the background of the story with all her footnotes which I found to be interesting.All in all a GREAT book, although it may take a bit to settle into it. For me I loved it from beginning to end. Witty and original all the way through. You might be bored because you don't enjoy the Jane Austen/Bronte Sisters style of 19th century English language, but never because the author's ideas were unoriginal.
