Short description
A young muse searches to discover who is draining energy from her new found home, the whimsical land of Helicon, and begins to suspect her childhood sweetheart.

Review by:
Alysa H
on March 21, 2013 :
This was an amusing enough read, though very breezy. Some nice ideas - and an interesting take on the mythology of muses - but didn't have much nuance, and I didn't feel invested in any of the characters.
I mostly did not like the idea that an abusive boyfriend's actions are simply in his nature, and therefore not in his control.
