Midnight Never Come by Marie Brennan
4.0
"Once we love, we cannot revoke it,' she said. 'We can only glory in what it brings -- pain as well as joy, grief as well as hope." - Lune; Midnight Never Come, M. Brennan
After reading this book, I found myself so surprised to have ever found it in the bargain bin. Excellent storyline, good characterization, and very little plot points that caused confusion. I was very much attracted to, and at first wary of, a mix between history and fantasy. This doesn't always end up working out well in a novel. But I really felt that Brennan did a remarkable job in balancing the two genres, and interlocking the lives of the human court and the fay court, all the while sprinkling a bit of religious mythology. The characters were easy to grasp, though they had their own interesting faults, the romance wasn't shoved down your throat; you slid into it relatively with ease, and the villain was captivating. A great read! I am so glad I found it!
