Expanded the world, but expanded the love triangle.
Whey you gotta play me like this!

I loved it sooo much!!!!! It is fast-paced, has an interesting plot, and the characters are awesome. What an amazing series!

Stopped at 40%. I don't know... something about the writing that made me not care about the characters this time around. The love triangle seemed poorly executed. The plot got bogged down by to many unnecessary details and awkward flow. I got the feeling that Death was not fleshed out as a character because Falin was clearly made to be the top runner in the story. Falin doesn't hold my interest and Death seemed way to puppy doggish for someone called DEATH!

Yet again, this series has been showing me a good time! I kind of miss the ghost/spirit/ mystery-solving aspect of this particular volume, but I also greatly enjoy learning more about the different realms and Faerie. I'm really excited to see what's going to happen next in the series.
I guess that the only thing that took me out of this fun experience was that some of the plot points and events in this novel don't get covered or explained after the fact (they'll probably be explained in later novels, but it seemed like a lot of little things added up--I guess what I'm saying is that there a good deal of tiny, loose ends). Oh, and maybe some more backstory on the big baddy(ies) of the book would have been nice.
Otherwise, I have books 3 and 4 in my library just ready to be listened to.

Good continuation of the series, but probably my least favorite so far of the three books of the series that I have read. I didn't find the sister to be a particularly interesting character so I didn't care much about what happened to her. The big bad in this book had kind of a mafia flavor to him to me and that is really not up my alley.
I'm cheating a bit by writing this immediately after reading Grave Memory (#3), which easily became my favorite of the three. I really appreciate the original story elements and plots and look forward to continuing with this series.

It was ok. I just felt like there wasn't much character development. I krep thinking that I should love this series but it's been an ok experience and nothing more

In some ways, I liked this even better than the first book. I loved that we learned more about the secondary characters. I absolutely loved the descriptions of Faerie and seriously want to live in a castle there with a little brownie maid and a garden gnome as my gardener. This is the first Urban Fantasy book that made me want to actually go to the world the way I want to visit Hogwarts.
The plot was a bit all over the place. While I loved learning about Alex's family history, the crime storyline that is supposed to make the book cohesive just didn't work. Some of the magical fight scenes went on a bit long as well, and I found myself skimming. We also kind of lost Rianna's story halfway through so I hope she picks that up in the next novel.
There wasn't as much focus on the love triangle once the action got going. I'm fine with this and hope that doesn't take over the series. The fantasy world Price has created is interesting enough that I don't need a romance as well.
Overall, I really enjoyed the book and look forward to the next installment in the series. I hope we get more of the Faerie world. So fun!
