Synopsis:

refined seventeen year old Kat Finnegan becomes unexpectantly embroiled in myth
and fantasy upon her father’s disappearance.
Now along with her twin brother Roger and friend Jim she is determined
to unravel the secrets of the Rose Queen and the world of the Fey.
My Review:
The world Hannah
Kollef created did not seem to be entirely developed; I was having trouble
grasping what she was trying to get at.
I also found myself having to go back and reread parts but at other
times wanting to skip over the monotonous and lengthy amount of
information.
The
main character, Kat Finnegan, was strong and well defined especially in her
willingness to help those around her; however, I thought she accepted the whole
concept of a magical world a little too easily.
It was said and then just automatically taken for fact. Roger and Jim took it the same way.
