My Thoughts: I really like this one and I'm looking forward to the next in the series. I love the change between the realistic art and the darker more creepy world - and both combined.
Cover: I like the blend of Human and Faery

Pair with: Foiled by Jane Yolen
I really liked this one, but wasn't as much a fan of "Kith." I got a couple of the characters confused...they were drawn so that they looked alike. *sigh - graphic novel fail! I have book three on order so we'll have to see about that one.
