Brightfall by Jaime Lee Moyer

4.0

A truly enjoyable and quite wonderful book. I was fully immersed in Marian’s “sequel” world, at once so familiar but also slightly different by way of the addition of old magic to the story. This integration of a well-known Tale with the world of the pagan and Fae was seamless, and I particularly liked the way that the conflict between the old ways and new (the church) was integral to the plot. I was cheering on our heroine throughout and fell in love with the cast of characters, right down to cheeky Bridget the fox. The action sweeps the reader along, building the tension until a satisfying final confrontation. The only criticism I have is that I do not understand the title of the book - I don’t remember the word Brightfall being used anywhere in the text!
