Damn good book. Really excited for the next one. ( )

It's been so long since I've read all the series that it's hard to remember where this one falls in my order of favorites.

Fire Touched was good. Really good. Where others in the series lacked, this did not.

Especially nice are the mythology and history. Seeing more of Zee's backstory is awesome. And opening up on the secrets of the other Fae is pretty great, too. ( )

Love this Mercy book. It has everything: good monsters, great characters, interesting action, excellent worldbuilding and great politics. This book is not a reread, but where I stopped reading Mercy. Not because I didn't like it, but sometimes you kinda forget about a series that is not finished yet. Shame on me, because I could have enjoyed this years ago and that is sad. On the other hand I enjoyed it now so that is a win. The universe is in balance once more. On to the next! ( )

i am so over the ex-wife and the fae drama. ( )

Continuing adventures of Mercy and the pack. As always with reference back to the previous book, but little actual progression as such.

Having rescued a boy fromt the fae, Mercy declares the Tri-Cities her pack's terroritary with guest rights to any who claim it (and abide by it). Given that the fae and the vampires both also claim the area, this seemed somewhat bold. And now the pack have to abide by it. Adam lays down the law and everybody seems slightly happier. The fae are always about bargains and politics though with motive a very complex beast.

I still feel there is occasional re-conning of previous books happening, Underhill being just a place previously, but now seems to be both a place and a person.

Still fun though. Could actually stand to be longer, but it's always a balance between padding t he plot with character development and keeping th backstory ongoing and consistant. ( )
