Summary: Seth never expected he would want to settle down with anyone—but that was before Aislinn. She is everything he’d ever dreamed of, and he wants to be with her forever. Forever takes on a new meaning, though, when your girlfriend is an immortal faery queen. Aislinn never expected to rule the very creatures who’d always terrified her—but that was before Keenan. He stole her mortality to make her a monarch, and now she faces challenges and enticements beyond any she’d ever imagined.
Review:
Okay so I am a big fan of Melissa Marr’s covers and titles. They are so cool sounding and its always fun when they tie into the entire book and actually make sense. So basically it’s been two years since I’ve read Ink Exchange so every time they freaking referenced Ink Exchange I was searching my mind to remember what had happened and why it was so bad. I’d only remembered vaguely.
Anyways, all that being said it was a good book. I wasn’t falling over my seat trying to read it all the time, but it kept me interested and entertained. Marr helps Seth weave intricate threads through all three courts, and even the High Court. I could feel his and Aislinn’s struggle and I wished, fleetingly, that they could both be mortal and things would be normal. I felt bad for Donia, but…I still can’t make myself believe Keenan is the bad one in all of this. You hear repeatedly from multiple characters throughout the book how manipulative and selfish Keenan is, but I don’t think he’s any worse than Niall. That is my one problem with the book, I can’t get Keenan to be evil even though I know he probably is!
Besides that, it was good. It should be interesting to read the newest book.
Rating: 4/5
