bibliophilicjester's review against another edition
4.0
3.75 stars again!!
This series was delightful. So fun! I didn’t do much theorizing or anything - I was just along for the crazy ride! If I still threw around 5 stars to books I enjoyed, all these books would be 5! But because I’m a bit more of an analytical, critical reviewer, I’m taking that into consideration too.
These characters have all been on such crazy journeys, and they’ve all developed so much. The thing that made me lower my rating to less than 4 stars was that I still have so many questions. I feel like there could be six more books just about Munro trying to figure out how the hell to be king. Does Rory ever stop being a douche? Did Flùranach travel back to Ewain’s time? And was she dealt with there, given that the same crown was returned to Munro in the future? Will Demi and Huck ever bond with faeries, or do they just live out their normal human lifespans together? How long do Eilidh and Munro live and rule? Does Joy ever figure out the silver mist over her eyes that prevent her from seeing? Do Lisel and Leocort(?) live happily as a bonded pair, or does it go wrong? Do Demi and Huck figure out a way to bond with each other? Do Eilidh and Griogair ever have a child together? Does everyone finally acknowledge what an incredible sacrifice Alyssa made? Does Sheng end up helping Queen Grenna in her realm? What more do all the druids learn about magic, flows, and runecraft?
Also, how is this series six books long and I still have so many questions?! I feel like there are way too many loose ends. I WANT MORE DAMMIT!! <3
