My Review: NO SPOILERS

A sweet end to this fantastical world

This book was more satisfying than the first. The first quarter started okay, picked up speed near the middle, and had me speed-reading near the end. Plenty of tension, adventure, and heartache packed a punch in this one. Loved it!

My Favorite Quote(s):

Women were two-dimensional to him. They fit into a little box of his own making so he could explain their reasoning and actions.

“Let us both hope this is not a dream for I would surely not survive the waking.”

“I am no longer the faerie prince with soft words. My poetry for you is a vow. The world may burn down around us, but nary a flame shall touch thy beloved flesh. The ocean may swallow the land, but I shall be your ship and feed you sweet air. A sword may try to cut you down, but I will bear all your wounds. I have lived a thousand years in the dark, waiting for the rays of your sunlight.”

"I am weary of men. Their hands are grasping, their needs are great, and my mind no longer wishes to bend to their will.”
