A review by bibliophilebynight
Fragile Eternity by Melissa Marr

4.0

*Spoiler alert*

Finished it!! Wow I have to say the series is getting better and better as it goes along! Can't wait to start the next book! Everything is starting to heat up now as the tension between the three courts builds (everything is getting intense!) Ash and Seth have to fight for their relationship in this book as the bond between Keenan and Ash get stronger due to the arrival of summer. I can't stand how Keenan uses Don as a back-up constantly and always runs to her like she is second best. I think Don is the shiz and I'm so glad she is finally standing up for herself in this book. Niall is also different in this book as he finally comes to terms with his whole Dark King role. I love the fact that Seth and Niall are like brothers in this book and the bond they share comes in handy for Seth. Keenan is soooo manipulative in the series I just don't like him at all. Bugs me to no end.

Yay for Seth by the way!! Love what happens to him in the story! Though I have to admit I don't like how he changes in some ways - aka the way he becomes so in love the Ash that she is his entire world...oh well he becomes a fairy so YAY! I also liked the fact that all four courts are now shown in the story. The High Court was always talked about from a distance but now we have actually read about the High Queen and it shows that she is not what the other characters believe her to be. Can't wait to know what happens further with her sister and her brother in the series.

The book kept me engaged the whole time and it was definitely a change of pace from wicked lovely and ink exchange. Marr's books get better and better as the series goes along (this could be cause the story gets juicer as it goes along). We also get a better look at the true nature of some characters for example Keenan and Donia.

We don't actually know where Ash and Seth stand at the end of the book and I don't think we will fully know until the end of the fifth book that hasn't been released yet (it should be good!). I like how Marr never ends of a HEA ending, nice and realistic thanks.
