First, I have to say that the synopsis kind of sucks. While it tells the basic plot, the actual book is much better than the synopsis makes it seem.
This book (or rather, series) introduces so many intricate, individual characters and builds on them throughout. They are fast reads, usually taking me (a slow reader) about half an hour to finish, but manage to pack so much plot between the covers. I would recommend this book to anyone. Fairy Tail was the first manga I read, and remains my favorite. It is light hearted and energetic but often includes dark themes and poses interesting moral questions. Lucy, the main character, gains quite a bit of depth throughout the series. All of the characters do. Often major antagonists are not purely "bad" but instead have reasons for their actions, and have redemption arcs. It is a long series, having over 50 books and counting.
This is a great book and an amazing series.
