The finely drawn characters capture readers’ attention in this debut.Īutumn and Phineas, nicknamed Finny, were born a week apart their mothers are still best friends. A slog through this final overwritten chapter in the Wicked Lovely series should prove rewarding for persevering readers who have wondered both how the Keenan/Aislinn/Seth/Donia quadrangle will resolve itself and what they will sacrifice to achieve both love and power. Save for Donia, who comes into her own and takes full control of her powers and her court, the characters remain essentially unchanged from previous books in the series. Though the threat of war is presented from page one, most of the first half involves faeries talking and debating their powers but doing little. All of them put their differences aside to fight the war, which is made all the more complex by the presence of Death and the grieving Dark King. Aislinn, meanwhile, knows that her heart lies with Seth, a mortal turned faery. Keenan, the Summer King, is still caught between Aislinn, who is his queen, and Donia, the Winter Queen, who is his true love.
