Faeries
The faeries are an interesting addition to a world inhabited by what are generally considered to be creatures of the horror genre, i.e. vampires, demons and werewolves (so far).

The description of Mab's eyes is very alien:

"Her eyes glittered, and I saw her pupils change, slipping from round mortal obs to slow feline lengths."

Oh and I have to say that I absolutely adored Toot-toot's battle gear:

"On his head he wore what looked like a plastic Coke bottle cap It was tied into place with a piece of string that ran under his chin and his lilac hair squeezed out from beneath it all the way around, all but hiding his eyes. In one hand he carried a spear fashioned from a battered old yellow Number 2 pencil, some twine, and what must have been a straight pin, and he wore a blue plastic cocktail sword through another piece of twine on his belt."

I know he's geared up for battle but he just sounds so gosh darn cute. :-)

Re: Faeries
And it's those little bits of detail that make these books so much fun to read!

If Jim had just said - "Toot was decked out for battle." that would have been boring - but he gave us the passage above, and it's so much better - you get this lovely picture in your head - and I love the cocktail sabre! hehe ---
