lazygal 's review for:

Fragile Eternity by Melissa Marr
4.0

I was feeling unsure about this series, because I loved [b:Wicked Lovely|305234|Wicked Lovely|Melissa Marr|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173568263s/305234.jpg|296240] but felt "meh"-ish about [b:Ink Exchange|2321296|Ink Exchange|Melissa Marr|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1201493138s/2321296.jpg|2327820]. Fragile Eternity is a return to the former, but without the wonder (probably because I know that world now).

Seth's journey to be closer to Ash, despite the presence of Keenen and the approach of Summer, is at the heart of this book; the choice he makes is not unexpected, but the ending did take me by surprise. And I have to say I never liked Keenen, so his little "oops" that cost him Donia and Ash made me happy. Just wish Niall was a larger part of this one, but perhaps in Book Four?

A friend asked if you had to read these in order; my advice is if you haven't read Wicked Lovely, you can't read Fragile Eternity. But in terms of continuity, you won't have missed that much if you skip Ink Exchange
