I have been looking forward to this story ever since the first time I heard you and rue_quercus talking about it and I am SO not disappointed. I love every single thing about this story. I love Jon's pov of it all an his gradual passing of the tests he doesn't realize he's taking. And I love how Spencer refuses to back down whether it's to Pete or to the Faerie Queen herself. Actually, I'm really fascinated by Pete in this, with his own never-clear agenda.
I love that like the best Faerie stories it doesn't have a clear-cut happy ending. Spencer 'wins' by sacrificing Brent, and it's a temporary victory at that. I've always thought the problem with Faeries is that they can generally outlive any one happy ending.
So yes, I love this story to bits and kind of want to read five billion stories set in this universe now *G*
