Review.

Wow, that’s all I can say. Wow!

Ballad is an amazing sequel. In this book, it focuses more on James, Dee’s best friend... or ex-best friend. Ever since James admitted he loves her, everything’s been different. Now they hardly talk, and a new faerie is in town. Nuala. Nuala is amazing. She’s sarcastic and funny, just what James needs, and she needs him... to stay alive. That’s okay, but one small snag, he could die. Seriously, this book is just amazing; I literally read most of it in a day. I would definitely rate if 5 stars!
