It started out great, had just enough mystery to keep me reading quickly and then it took an abrupt turn and all fell apart.

Loved the idea that humans were banned to a small area of land and it wasn't easy living. While the magical creatures of the world were doing great. Of course we have to have the mean one who kidnap Lore and take her to the main city. This is the good part she is to rebuild their library and bring all magical books to the steward. All is well until said female does something stupid and the book takes a horrible turn that never recovers.
