Technically, I listened to this book, which I think changes my reception of it. The amount of time it takes me to read is drastically altered (so the book felt a bit slow) but, conversely, the reader's Welsh accent was superb.
Now, what did I make of this book? I enjoyed it, certainly, but I always felt as though, as a book, it was slipping away from me. It's not that I didn't get it or couldn't appreciate it, I just never quite connected with the main character, for all that we were inside her diary and mind.
Still, it was a brilliant take on fairies and magic in our world and, best of all, left me with a whole new reading list.
