Review (There are spoilers in this review):
This is a fascinating story full of fun, adventure and romance. I like how some of the characters are from other worlds and that you get just a glimpse into their own rich histories. I like how you’re not given the answers to everything. You never hear from Elain and Nesta about what happened to them in the Cauldron, or really get a true understanding of what Nesta took from it. The relationships that develop, be it as friends or as enemies, adds a nice depth to the story.
Two things that did bother me are: 1) when all the High Lords meet and 2) an aspect of the final battle. First, when all the High Lords meet there is a lot of petty squabbling and bickering, which could be expected from a group of ego centric immortals that have had to deal with each other for eons; however, some of their actions just seemed way to immature for people that are supposed to rule kingdoms. There is a lot of tongue sticking out and other childish nonsense, which is great when they are in an intimate setting, but just didn’t seem to go with the scene. Secondly, I think someone important (their father doesn’t count because you were never emotionally invested in him) should have died in the final battle. It seems a bit hard to believe that in a battle that big where everyone was fighting, that they wouldn’t have lost anyone important.
But when all is said and done I have to say I can’t wait to continue the saga!
