This is not my usual genre, which has taken me out of my comfort zone. It took me a while to get into the book because some of the things made me feel sick right from the start. The story follows Thomas, a young kid living on a farm. Within only a few pages, he meets a fairy-like creature in the family cornfield, and from there, the story takes off. 

The book features an apocalyptic doom approaching, a well-done antagonist, and a complicated love interest. Thomas was an easily likable character, one you root for, but who also annoys you slightly, which I found worked really well. It was great to see how others around our main character saw glimmers and slices of approaching doom and how its tendrils really slinked out and grabbed ahold of them. 

However, there were a few parts that came off as a bit underwhelming and under-described or merely glossed over. For example, the character of Bobby when we first meet him. The entire scene is slightly more than odd. Bobby and his parents go camping. The story takes place in a cross-dimensional world featuring farms, evil fairies, and strange ongoing events."The story takes place in a cross-dimensional world featuring farms, evil fairies, and strange ongoing events.
