THE THIRTEEN TREASURES focuses on how the fairy world interacts with ours, on how the fairies are not the nice ones from the fairy tales told today. Plus her chapters give a deeper insight into the fairy world. It was nice to get a better understanding of a character who’s very important to the first book but always feels a bit out of focus.
