Melissa Marr returns to the ravishing world of Faerie with a story set between her bestselling novels Ink Exchange and Fragile Eternity.
Recently anointed king of the Dark Court, Niall struggles to forge a new relationship with his subjects—and with the former Dark King, Irial, his once-friend, once-enemy, and now possible-advisor.

My Review

(Originally Reviewed on Mrs. Papillion aka “The Book Worm”)
I had no problem finishing Stopping Time..the first short story after Ink Exchange…but this one I had to keep putting down and coming back to read. It didn’t catch my attention like Stopping Time did. I did like the fact that Niall finally found out he’s going to be an AMAZING DARK Faerie King. I also liked how he stood up to Irial and made him realize he’s not running the show anymore.
Maybe this book didn’t capture my attention that much because there wasn’t much of a love triangle anymore. I know that’s what got my attention with Stopping Time.
I did enjoy learning about some new characters that will be showing up in the next book. I want to learn more about Devlyn. He sounds exciting and is one TOUGH FAE!
Other than that I’m glad I at least read this short story. It wasn’t my favorite.
Now I can move onto “Fragile Eternity” and come back to the world of the other FAE. =)

I guess I should type a bio here. I'm FranJessca, or Fran for short. I'm the owner/reviewer behind A Book Lovin' Mama's Blog. I've been reading and reviewing books on my blog since leaving the Navy in 2011, and I will keep doing it as long as possible. My favorite genres will always be Romance & Fantasy, and I read every subgenre underneath those two genres. (Sorry, not a fan of nonfiction, so don't try to convince me to read it.)
My obsession with reading started over 30+ years ago when I went to my first Scholastic Book Fair and found R.L. Stine's Fear Street series. Later, I came across Anne Rice's novels at my public library when I was fourteen when my obsession with vampires started. I was the girl who preferred to be a vampire over a princess any day. My husband says I would leave him a heartbeat for a vampire that looked like Spike or Angel (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) or Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries. (It's true, though, and he's accepted it.)
