Let's consider the opening scenario of this book: the new girl in town finds herself in the company of a crew of defiant and wild girls. This is a set up that screams of werewolves or vampires. Instead we're treated to lore that I've often said is a vastly under-explored source for stories: changelings. These are the fae that medieval people feared. They are self-serving and cruel. And the more they use their magic the stronger they grow. It also begins to control them more, like a drug addiction. The pacing is a bit rough, scenes jumping a bit more than I'd prefer, but it's a unique book worth reading.
