akiikomori's review against another edition
5.0
I’m speechless.
As in I don’t know where to start – not that the book wasn’t good!
I’m OVERCOME by so many emotions and so many feels, it’s like WOW!
There are very few authors I hold in high esteem, and Karen Marie Moning is definitely one of them.
I will start off by saying Feverborn is an improvement from the previous novel Burned and I do have my reasons for saying this, which I will explain further on.
Reading a Fever Novel, if you’re as obsessed with the series as I am, is like coming home after a year (or longer, depending how much time passes between book releases). You miss the characters, you miss their thoughts, their personalities, you miss their witty replies, you miss being in their head, and you end up clinging to every page (I know I did). All I know is I’m anxious to share my thoughts and anxious for the next book! (I swear every time I read the next book in the series it just makes me want to read the series from the beginning – it’s just THAT good).
The black holes that have been popping around the city are becoming a problem. One wrong move and you could be swallowed into oblivion. Now Mac, Barrons, Jada, Ryodan, and the rest of the gang need to find a way to stop them from growing and swallowing the world whole. But they have other problems to face.
Unlikely alliances and secrets may make or break relationships. Mac and Jada are going to have to learn to trust and work with each other again, and Mac is going to have to learn to forgive herself before she can ever move on. Meanwhile, Jada has her own issues to deal with – being home, being surrounded by the people she used to look up to, she is an all powerful butt-kicking sidhe-seer now and yet they all look at her as if she’s a child or different somehow. She’s going to have to learn to work with them again if she wants to save their world and rebuild the bridges she had with everyone. When powerful Fae seeking the end of the world are involved you can’t afford to lose your friends, or your allies.
This book was A LOT to take in, and I mean that in a good way. There was just SO MUCH going on and a lot of details to remember, but I promise it wasn’t hard. The Fever series is a book you can easily get lost in as you become obsessed and submerge yourself into the Fever World. It can be challenging because there are so many characters and so many things to like about all of them – it’s hard to pick a favourite.
One thing I did find myself thinking a lot was, “What’s going on with so and so, and why don’t they have a bigger part?!” I can’t say who this is specifically about but with so many characters I can understand why Moning didn’t have time to touch on them all. HOWEVER! Don’t be too disappointed! Because there’s A LOT of Mac and Barrons and a lot of Jada and Ryodan in this book which, personally I think, makes up for it….if you know what I mean ;).
“What we achieve at our best moment doesn’t say much about who we are. It all boils down to what we become at our worst moment.”
I cannot stress this enough… BARRONS IS EVERYTHING!
Like, that’s all I need to say. Anything and everything that has to do with him is like Aside from Barrons….RYODAN is second everything, Lor is currently third (since he’s had like the third most book time, and because he’s hilarious, like I’d love to have him as a best friend/big brother type, like how he looks at Dani/Jada). He and Jada definitely hit it off in this book which I’m very happy for, I only wish there were MORE of them together… Seriously like…get on that! :P
“For **** sake, you vanished and I couldn’t find you. Do you really think I’m going to let that happen again? If you believe nothing else, concede it will work for that reason alone. I don’t lose things that are mine.”
The story was very evenly paced and thorough with everyone’s POV. I do wish we got some more POV than others (can’t say cause spoilers) but I do feel like I was THOROUGHLY SATISFIED, like everyone who needed to be seen was seen and seen enough. As much as I love Mac, and I do love Mac, I was more excited for Jada’s parts than anything. I really liked how she was more human in this book than in Burned where she was just an unfeeling machine/robot/thing with literally no feelings (at least it seemed that way). Dani has definitely grown into Jada but it’s also nice seeing Jada finally act more human and more like Dani, you know? That she hasn’t completely cut herself off from who she used to be. Humans are flawed and I think that’s what makes them beautiful. Heck, I’d go as far as saying even the Nine are flawed and that is also what makes them so irresistible. Borrowing a quote from the Avengers: Age of Ultron, “There is grace in their failings.”
I seriously can’t wait until all the loose ends are tied up and all the secrets revealed. Moning has assured readers that she has a plan and I can’t wait to see it executed!
With the way this book and story is going, I’m sure Feversong is going to be a crazy ride! I just hope we’re not left with too many cliffhangers by the end of it…haha!

kathydavie's review against another edition
4.0
Eighth in the Fever urban fantasy series set in a Dublin under siege and revolving around Mac, Barrons, and Jada. It's been thirteen months since Mac first arrived in Dublin and eight days since Burned.
In 2016, Feverborn was nominated for the Goodreads Choice Award for Fantasy.
My Take
It's primarily first-person protagonist point-of-view from Mac's perspective with a dash of third-person (using I) from Christian's and Dani/Jada's perspective, AND we do learn of things that Mac shouldn't be able to see or be told about, including thoughts from the imprisoned Seelie queen, which definitely places this in a combination POV. A bit of a POV mess, really, but it's easy enough to follow. Well, except when you haven't read the series in awhile AND one has, ahem, skipped Burned. Oops. I'm sure regretting that move, as I feel adrift and confused.
Dani comes across as the cold and icy Jada who is constantly re-affirming who she is, how grown up she is, how much she's changed from the younger Dani. And she does (as does Dancer) make an excellent point about changing when one is gone for over five years. Unfortunately, she comes across as an insecure kid who wants to be the Ice Queen. Then the truth about Shazam comes out…geez…you can't help but want to cry.
As for Mac, she is so busy re-telling the past, going on about her sister's death, explaining her relationship with Barrons, and whining, er, babbling on about the tricks the Sinsar Dubh strews in her path. And whining (that hated trope) about how scary it is to look at the Sinsar Dubh inside her. Please, like she really has a choice. Instead, she runs on with that trope of avoidance. Hmm, actually I do that same trope with computer problems…guess I better stop whining too.
Feverborn strikes me as a bridge, introducing us to the new Dani and Mac catching us up on what's been happening.
The Story
Earth is in danger from the blackholes, and the Nine believe that only Mac can save us by accessing the dread Sinsar Dubh and finding the long-lost Song of Making — a haunting, dangerous melody that is the source of life itself.
But their enemies are many with passions that burn hot and hunger for vengeance that runs deep.
The challenges, too, are many: the Keltar at war with nine immortals who've secretly ruled Dublin for eons, Mac and Jada hunted by the masses, the Seelie queen nowhere to be found, and the most powerful Unseelie prince in all creation determined to rule both Fae and Man.
Now the task of solving the ancient riddle of the Song of Making falls to a band of deadly warriors divided among — and within — themselves.
The Characters
MacKayla "Mac" O'Connor Lane is a sidhe-seer and null with a copy of the dread Sinsar Dubh imprinted within her. I get the impression it's 50,000 years of the Unseelie king's memories. Alina was Mac's biological sister, murdered in Darkfever, 1. Their biological mother was Isla O'Connor; her adoptive parents are the loving Jack and Rainey Lane who live in Ashford, Georgia, in America.
Jericho Barrons is one of the Nine — there are Ten now — who gave his bookstore, Barron's Books & Baubles, to Mac. These "men" are lethal and immortal and can turn into fearsome beasts. Ryodan is Jericho's brother and owns Chester's, a nightclub. Others of the Nine include Kasteo "Kas", X, Fade, Daku, and caveman-ish Lor who works for Ryodan at Chester's. He's having sex with Jo Brennan who works as a waitress in the kiddie subclub in Chester's; she's descended from one of the six Irish bloodlines who can see the Fae. The tribunal serves as the Nine's court of law.
Jada, a.k.a., Danielle "The Mega" O'Malley, a.k.a., Dani, is an extremely gifted and genetically mutated sidhe-seer who escaped Silverside and returned to Dublin a couple weeks ago. After being lost for five-and-a-half years. Shazam is the cranky, depressed feline-bear friend she came across on the planet Olean when she was in Silverside. Shazam calls Dani Yi-yi.
Dancer is fully human, brilliant, and in love with Dani, accepting everything about her (Shadowfever). His friends at Trinity College include Caoimhe "Keeva" Gallagher working on a doctorate in music theory; Duncan; and, Squig and Doolin who are brilliant at maths.
Arlington Abbey is…
…the headquarters for the sidhe-seers. Now Dani/Jada is doing what Rowena (the former Grand Mistress until Shadowfever, 5) should have been doing. Brigitte is one of the sidhe-seers.
The Keltar are…
…a Highland clan of Druids who fight for the common good. Daegus MacKeltar, the Highlander, is/was a Druid and their leader; he should be dead after events in Burned. Chloe Zanders was his wife (The Dark Highlander, Highlander 5). Christian MacKeltar had been human and was saved from death through Daegus' sacrifice; now he's a winged Unseelie Fae, a walking lie detector. Colleen, Christian's sister, is the only one of his family who will look at him. Drustan is Daegus' twin brother and is married to Gwen Cassidy (The Kiss of the Highlander, Highlander 4).
Sean O'Bannion is nephew to the dead mobster, Rocky O'Bannion. He's also Katarina's lover. Katarina "Kat" McLaughlin is part of a notorious crime family too with a gift of extreme empathy, so she was sent to the Abbey.
The Guardians are…
…the only effective police force left in Dublin and led by Inspector Jayne. Mickey is a murdered Guardian. Brody O'Roark led the invasion.
The Unseelie are…
…the Dark fae. There are four Unseelie princes: War, Pestilence, Famine, and Death. Christian is now Death. Cruce, a.k.a., the Seelie Prince, V'lane, is an Unseelie prince imprisoned beneath the Abbey by the Unseelie king. Toc. Darroc was Alina's lover, a Fae stripped of his immortality by Queen Aoibheal, who had been the Unseelie king's concubine.
K'Vruck is an ancient icy black Royal Hunter who allows Mac and Barrons to ride him. The Sweeper is the being he works for, a moving collection of trash. The Crimson Hag is an early Unseelie king creation, as is the Hoar Frost King who opened "blackholes" all over the world that will swallow the world. Rhino-boys are lower-caste Unseelie thugs who look like rhinoceroses with bumpy, protruding foreheads, barrel-like bodies, and stumpy arms and legs. They're used as bully boys, watchdogs, or security for high-ranking Fae.
Papa Roach is the king cockroach composed of a bunch of cockroaches gathering to form one body, a former god, spying for Cruce and Ryodan.
Adam Black, a Fae gone mad who became human (The Immortal Highlander, Highlander 6). The Sinsar Dubh is an ancient book of black magic. Mallucé is a superhumanly strong vampire who had beaten Mac to the edge of death (Darkfever and Bloodfever, 2). The Draghar had been the living consciousness of thirteen ancient sorcerers. Priya is a Fae trick induced to create a mindless insatiable need for sex. Silver is the alternate plane entered by going through a mirror, where one becomes completely lost, struggling to survive.
The Cover and Title
The cover is a range of reds with Mac in a floor-length, sexy red dress, its skirts and Mac's long hair billowing in the wind, as she holds her wrist in one hand against a night backdrop of bare trees in the mist, a bright light behind her. The author's name is at the top in red while the title is below Mac's waist in a gradation of white to red. Below that is the series information in white, bracketed by white fleur-de-lis.
I'm thinking the title is a reference to how Mac became what she is now, a Feverborn exhaustion from the time she was Priya.
In 2016, Feverborn was nominated for the Goodreads Choice Award for Fantasy.

Holy mechanical nightmares what an ending ! I was left gasping for breath. Where did it go ? What does it mean ? What will happen to Barrons ? When is the next book being released ?????
The horrors that Dani/Jada had to survive for years are just peeking out around the edges. Scars inside and out cover her, but those weren't the worst damage. She wasn't always alone
Mac is dealing with this massive power inside her that could go off at anytime.
There may never be another pink cake.
The world may end, taking another with it
Ryo was sweet, nasty, sneaky, artistic and hands on.
The Fever world is spinning out of control

Vale, vamos a ver, ¿cómo terminas un libro así, Karen? ¿Quieres que me dé un ataque al corazón? Te odio, mujer.
Con Feverborn me ha pasado lo mismo que con Iced y Burned, y es que las escenas de Mackayla me llegan a cansar una barbaridad, y luego llegan las de Jada y estoy que me subo por las paredes porque, simplemente, la adoro. Y yo lo siento, Barrons, pero Ryodan te supera por momentos, qué se le va a hacer, es mi nuevo favorito.
Más escenas de Jada y menos de Mac, sólo pido eso. Gracias.
Esperaba el momento explosión de Jada con demasiadas ganas, y va Karen y me hace esto. No sé si odiarla o gritar de la emoción. Se ve que es una autora de contrastes. ¿Y me vas a decir que ahora tengo que esperar hasta 2017? ¿Dónde está el barranco más cercano?
Venga, voy a ver si se me quita este dolor extraño que tengo en el pecho mientras espero a Feversong.

This novel is so freaking beautiful. It followed Moning's usual formulas, in almost every sense, albeit a little (wayyyyyyy) more sexual. And chaotic in terms of plot. Not four stars.
But, I couldn't ignore the plot and development of Dani/Jada. It truly, honestly broke my heart. Her trauma wasn't used as a fucking plot-pusher, or as a way for Ryodan to 'save,' her, it was simply showing the journey a broken girl tried to take, to heal.
And Shazam. Fuckkkkkk. My heart.
"I see you, Yi-Yi."
My eyes.
It's the onions, I swear.

As always, this book ended with a cliffhanger. I felt like this one was more abrupt than the previous ones. I love this series, period. I loved "seeing" the old gang again
