Radiant Shadows

Big things are happening in Faerie and in the mortal world. It's so amazing to see this world that Marr has created. When you think you've learned all of it and now it's just a matter of building on the existing story she adds more. Layers and layers of rich, alluring faerie goodness.

The story is complicated. It's not a he loves her, she loves him kind of plot. It's just so great. It pulls you in and I love how dark and violent everything gets without being overboard. The threat is there, blood is drawn, gore is but a mere whisper and it doesn't feel forced or showy. She's not trying to shock the reader, she's just trying to show that these aren't Tinkerbell faeries. Each book has ended in a way that gives you a bit of satisfaction with some resolution, but the bigger picture is still hanging there so you want to just jump right into the next book.

There's something to be said for waiting so long to start the series! At least I don't have to wait for the next book to come out....
