Ink Exchange by Melissa Marr
4.0
So I finished Ink Exchange today! I have to say at the beginning it was a bit difficult to get into. There were too many characters for me to keep track of (this possibly could be because it had been such a long time since I read the first book in the series wicked lovely). You have to have read Wicked Lovely to understand this book and I have to say I love Leslie as character more than I love Aislinn.
The book takes place where we left off with the stories about the fey and the courts (is there four courts in the series? I still don't quite know - google time I think) only this time you don't see it from Ash and Seth's perspective, you see it from Leslie and her interaction with the dark court that is led by Irial. I think it would be amazingly helpful if Marr had a glossary in the back about the courts and some of the fey that occur in the books (I don't know why but I just found it really difficult keeping up with all the characters).
I love how the ending isn't a happy love story with rainbows and sunshine and little unicorns and everything is right with the world. No. Marr I feel in this book is being quite realistic in her writing. After what has happened, no, everything is not going to be hunkey dorey in the end and Leslie is going to have time out to heal (and not to mention it makes the story way more interesting for the next books - will they won't they theme I feel).
I liked how you got more than one perspective in the book about what different characters were feeling. You not only got Leslie, but Irial and Niall . Oh oh oh did I mention I also really like the names of the characters? They were pretty cool too. So all and all I rate this a 4 out of 5, just because of how lost I found myself sometimes but loving the way the story ends!
