Ballad by Maggie Steifvater
This book came after Lament. Not so sure if I liked it or not. There were good things and bad things. I really like reading about the Fey and faeries, whatever you'd like to call them...but in this second book it's focused more on James. James is one hilarious dude. I would date him in a heartbeat if my heart didn't belong to my wonderful hubby.=) He's down to earth and SO sarcastic he's funny. But it's about his journey that he goes on after meeting a faerie, Nuala, that's actually not quite a faerie. Dee is in this book also, but the story isn't really about her like Lament was. She had a part to play, but her part in it made me want to slap her. Her relationship with Luke was non existent in this book which I thought made no sense since according to Lament they were suppose to be madly in love with each other. It was just weird. James' story was good though. It was so funny. I was laughing out loud at a lot of his comments. I just didn't really like how there was no flow from the first book to the second. It's almost like they should have been their own stories and had nothing to do with each other even though they had the same 2 main characters. It was just awkward at moments in the story. It wasn't my favorite at all but it was a decent read if you have nothing else on your shelf at the time. Happy Reading!
