I struggled with this from the start. I guess i thought it would be a modern sort of kindnap-and-survive-with-a-little-help-from-your-friends, not some sort of old-fashioned fantasy. The Fae are not my favourite thing to read about--unless you're Trent Kalamack and co :D.
Add in the fact that it wasn't a smooth style but was rather stilted and very awkward reading. It was taking too long to get interesting and i just didn't even really care anymore by the 32% mark.
Not for me at all.
