livemily1512 's review for:
Wicked Lovely
by Melissa Marr
One of my earlier young adult series, this book was ahead of its time for the popularity of the Fae fantasy genre.
Aislinn is fun and likeable and Seth is to die for so you route for the two of them throughout the book. Beira is suitably terrifying, always reminding me of the white witch from Narnia. Her cruelty and her abuse of Donia makes her an awesome villain, but i think the descriptions of her as a 1950s housewife are a bit misplaced.
Keenan to me is the other villain of this book, so I kind of hate that he pretty much gets everything he wants at the end of it. He is insufferable, and arrogant, and threatening towards Aislinn, and drugs her at the carnival so he can make her stay with him and dance. I remember the first time I read this book feeling very panicked every time Keenan appeared, which to me is a good villain.
I loved the story and the politics of the courts, but think a bit more could have been done to explore the courts in this book, as the Dark and High courts are only mentioned briefly in passing.
