" This was an odd book for me. I came close to wanting to dislike the main character and her actions and also the actions of Alban, but I just couldn't quite there. They weren't bad characters and do have some good qualities, but they certainly acted stupid on a number of times. I liked the idea of five Old Races. It was nice to have gargoyles, selkies, and djinn instead of the usual vampires (although there were vampires too) and werewolves. There was a fascinating interplay between the head honchos and Margrit. I couldn't quite call the romance between Alban and Margrit a romance, especially with how the book ends. It was nice not to have the main character fall instantly in love with the dark, mysterious, oh so dangerous guy. "
