4 Stars. Usually a pretty enjoyable romp through fantasy land. I enjoyed the part with Noc thinking Cora is insane and offering to get her help (because in that situation, who wouldn't think that?!). I liked Tor, and that even when he didn't like Cora he was still a pretty decent guy to her (though I was not a huge fan of the "you want food or clothes? Pay me in—basically—sexual favors," as he alludes in the beginning). And Cora was tolerable the whole book. She never did anything unforgivably stupid (TSTL) or mean or anything. She was a bit of a Mary Sue, actually. I would have enjoyed her being a little less "perfect" to be honest. This book is splendid! It's the most fairytale like story among all the other three of Fantasy Land but I found it rather amusing and cute.I am fond of Cora's personality like a lot. She was just simply the adorable among the three previous girls. From the beginning of the book she was so lovely, you get pulled. Noctorno got a kickass name, I like him. The way KA describe him was dreamly, HAWT! Blue eyes and black love it! Though I cannot draw a clear image of what Cora must have look like cause there wasn't much emphasis to how she looks relative to Circe and Finnie.It surprised me it only took me a day to finished this but say it was really entertaining. Just that... I feel this book was a preparation for the big shindig so there was not that much kickass battles but whatever.Happy ending for our loving characters. Nocturne X Cora. Loving it. Yay.
What do You think about Fantastical (2000)?
happy for the change up, not the same storyline like the previous books.
