I enjoyed this book but also had some serious problems with it. On a literary level, the prose was lovely but the pacing sometimes seemed off, and the climax wasn't very...climactic. On a more political level, well. This book is supposedly a retelling of Tam Lin, a ballad I'm not very familiar with -- and maybe if I were, it would make a difference. I really liked the main character -- intelligent, stubborn, outspoken, strong, awkward -- but don't like how her main transformation is to become more graceful and attractive. I also had a huge problem with the role of religion. It is one thing to Other the Fairy Folk, and for parts of the book I think Pope does a good job balancing their role as villains (they do take captives, after all) and their role as an interesting, somewhat appealing people. But then out of nowhere comes this Christian blather -- that doesn't even get followed through, plot-wise -- that severely judges the fairies for their human sacrifice, and glorifies Christianity for its lack thereof, as if Christianity hasn't committed its share of bloodshed -- not to mention other horrible things, such as driving many pagan religions underground. And yes, I would have been angry and annoyed if Christ had turned out to be the savior of this book, just b/c I'm tired of always seeing non-Christianity vilified, but it was equally annoying to have it mentioned and then lead nowhere, as if the author had to get her little pro-Christian bit in. Still, like I said, I enjoyed much of the book. I really liked the Elizabethan feel of the world, as well as many of the characters, even though I wish most were developed more. I think this was probably a four-star read in my mind until the end brought in the annoying religious sentiments and then wrapped up so oddly and suddenly.
