Brightfall by Jaime Lee Moyer
4.0
This is one of the few non-horror/dark fantasy books that I've read this year, but I've always enjoyed Jaime's writing, so I didn't think twice about picking it up.
Jaime's style draws me in with her emotionally centered female characters and Brightfall is no exception to this rule. Told from Marian's point of view, the book puts a neat twist on the Robin tale with lots of references to Celtic magic and Robin Hood lore. The characters and their motivations are solid and believable, yet wrapped in a magical world that is hidden just beneath our own.
One part murder mystery, one part fairy tale, Brightfall will satisfy lovers of high fantasy who are looking for a new twist on the Robin Tale legend.
Highly recommended.
