![]() ![]() ![]() YA)īlack is back with another dark tale of Faerie, this one set in Faerie and launching a new trilogy. Like its predecessors, this book is a few hundred pages of mediocrity underneath an exquisite cover, and it will fly off library and bookstore shelves. ![]() Romantics will be touched by Seth’s undying, if blind, devotion to the ever-more-untouchable Aislinn he goes so far as to become a faery himself in order to be with her forever. In spite of this, the plots of multiple love triangles and impending war manage to move much more smoothly from scene to scene than in Wicked Lovely or the companion Ink Exchange (2008). The overwrought, repetitive writing (one character “quirks his brow” at no fewer than three points in the book) that is Marr’s trademark does not let up for a moment here. Elsewhere in the city, two sisters representing Order and Chaos predict war for Faerie. Though Aislinn, as the Summer Queen, has an antagonistic relationship with the Winter Queen, Donia, Donia’s frigidity is the least of Aislinn’s problems. Three months after the events of Wicked Lovely (2007), Aislinn and her boyfriend, Seth, are still trying to figure out the complex world of Faerie. ![]()
