Bit of a mixed mythos that doesn't really work together and lacking in the world development that would make a fun series. However it's not totally without charm and the characters interact together quite well, if at times somewhat one dimensionally.

There's two main strands of plot that quickly weave together. A selkie loses his skin to a local witch, and the faerie princess escapes a demanding faerie lord. She arrives in the Land of Men knowing very little of how mortals live, but somewow manages to pick things up far too quickly. Obviously the selkie asks the faerie for help. Everything else plays out pretty much as you'd expect.

It's a kind of interesting world, and I'd enjoy more novels set there, but the plotting was just a little bit too simplistic to really do it justice in this one. I'm never a fan of controlling relationships or insta-lovers, but the contrast between the two was mildly entertaining for a while. ( )
