Jude, seventeen and mortal, gets tangled in palace intrigues while trying to win a place in the treacherous High Court of Faerie, where she and her sisters have lived for a decade.
It started a bit slow, introducing world and main characters but around two thirds of the book it took a very story defining turning point and the pace went up heavily. I enjoyed especially the last part and will be continuing with the other books of the series.
I recommend this if you're into books that build on the myths of fairyland and show it as a dangerous and scary place. Or if you like stories where someone is in a bad situation and has to rely on their resourcefulness and what makes them different from everybody else.
I started this book thinking I probably wouldn't finish it, but before long I was hooked and am now disappointed that I'm going to have to wait for the sequel.
