Book Review Time: DARKLIGHT
TITLE: 'Darklight'
AUTHOR: Lesley Livingston
PAGES: 312
SUMMARY: (Thanks to goodreads.com) "Much has changed since autumn, when Kelley Winslow learned she was Faerie royalty, fell in love with changeling guard Sonny Flannery, and saved New York City from a rampaging Faerie war band. When a terrifying encounter in Central Park sends Kelley tumbling into the Otherworld, her reunion with Sonny is joyful-but cut short. For they’ve been plunged into a game of Faerie deception and wavering allegiances in which the next move could topple a kingdom...or part them forever.
The fans who flocked to Lesley Livingston’s Wondrous Strange will fall hard for Darklight, the soaringly romantic second book in the trilogy. Breathless high stakes and vividly magical characters make this a can’t-miss fantasy for readers of Melissa Marr and Holly Black."
RATING: B-
This was a much better take on her first one, 'Wondrous Strange'. There was more detail and more personalization behind her idea! I still never made a connection with Sonny and it was still very predictable. The hints leading to the climax were not subtle at all, but it was very charming to read. I loved reading about the other courts, but still wanted more. In a weird way, I feel her books aren't long enough, but reading them I feel it's too long. I wish she would focus more time into the main charcters and the 4 courts rather than coming up with a bunch of different creatures. The whole goat lady thing was weird. I like the Shakespeare refrence, but hopefully she won't over do it! I am looking forward to a third one, if there is one. It's an easy read :)
