Nigh - Book 4 by Marie Bilodeau

mdpenguin's review

3.0

This is where it gets good. Lots of explanations and reasons to care. Unfortunately, Bilodeau spent the last three books making me not care that much about Al and Hector.

The merging of the worlds is interesting and there are moments of sweetness in this one that make me feel for the characters. The prince is annoying but it's a lot easier to sympathize with him since we're actually told what he feels has been lost instead of him just running away from horrors. I'm liking fae Helen in a large part because her character is actually being developed in the book instead of just being plopped down in front of me fully formed and not that believable like Al and Hector. I'd still like some explanation of why the watches work or why Hector even knew what to do with them. Things like that would make the story a lot richer.

Books 1 & 2 rounded up to 3 stars, book 3 was pretty much 3 stars, and this rounds down. If the rest of the books had been more like this one then I'd probably be giving the whole thing 4 stars despite its weaknesses.
