This review comes in the form of a story:
Once upon a time (last night) on a dark and stormy (or at least very windy) night I asked my friend Steve to choose something at random from my TBR pile for me to read. He didn't choose this book. But as he was going through the pages of my kindle trying to pick something this book jumped out at me and demanded my attention. So I, like a good girl who knows not to ignore feelings like that started reading it.
And kept reading.
And kept reading.
I cancelled plans out with friends, I went to bed early so as not to be disturbed, I put on Celtic Woman on Spotify and, long story short, I was done with it the same night.
It's been a while since a book has done this to me. But this had Faerieland, and metal, and an ancient Irish lady trying to save her ladylove from the Celts, and an all girl metal band that battles the elves with the power of rock and roll and friendship, and it was everything I ever wanted.
Sorry for ignoring your recommendation Steve, but I am not regretting this choice.
(Actually 4.5 stars but rounding up because i teared up)

I started this book and i was a little meh about everything but then I got sucked in by its beautiful characters and everything and I ended up talking about it on twitter and snapchat for hours and hours so i think this warrants a 5 star rating.
2.5 but narrowing it down because of how long so short a book took me
This book was incredibly hard for me to get through but I willingly recognize that this is probably more on me than it is about the book itself, I guess I'm just not into the troubled man doesn't know who he is or what he is (other than an instrument for a higher power to use) kind of urban fantasy? Really sorry about it though cause the setting was very refreshing and real and there were definitely things and characters i really liked...
Maybe i'll try the second one in the future, see if my tastes have changed
