Feyworld: Shards of Solarie started off interesting enough, but I found myself bored towards the end of the story - it was simply way too long. It would have benefited from fewer pages or being separated into two books rather than overloaded into one. I'm sad that I wish the story was shorter because the characters and plot were generally great, it just wasn't able to keep me hooked for long enough to make the story interesting.
I'm honestly not particularly sure what to say about this book. It was way too long. I feel everything could have been done in 300-350 pages or even 2 books. Too much time was spent on internal dialogue that really wasn't needed. It started off great! I love when books start off in the action. I was hooked with the first 100 pages. the 200's wasn't so bad. There was a lot of world and plot building which was fine. 300's and on is when it was difficult to hold my attention.
The characters were well written. They each had their own detailed backstory and development. The development was a bit staggering. Some times it was instant and others it took what felt like forever. I struggled with Mai's personality. I understand she lived in the fey world and human world so her being would be a mix of both, I just don't feel it was executed well. Pinerose was a mystery that I loved. I felt her part was played out well. The conclusion of the Unseelie was very quick and I almost missed it.
Overall all it's such a GREAT idea for a book and I really feel I would have enjoyed it more if there wasn't so much filler.
