The idea of fairies living in commuter towns didn't sit right, but Theo couldn't think of any reason why it shouldn't be so
Theo Vilmos has always drifted through life, but when he finds a notebook in which the great-uncle he never met appears to be telling the story of about visiting a magical land, things start to get odd and he finds himself in the middle of a looming war between the Flower lords who rule Faerie.
Unfortunately, Theo is a bit slow on the uptake and never sees the hole in the story. as the goblins would say. And when he does ask the right questions, he never remembers the answers when he needs to. He is low on emotional intelligence too, not really understanding the relationships between the people around him.
The copy I read is really badly printed. The contents page has the page numbers for every chapter set to 00, and whenever a word contains an accent mark (such as naïve and cliché), the accent is printed after the letter rather than as part of it.
