With the first dreaded mating brand having come into play and linking Amiah to Rin no less, I get why this book in the series got titles as it did.

Plot-wise, we went back to book two energy, with more relationship than plot development. Which was completely understandable since there was a new love interest added to the mix that needed to be given a background and story (also, I wanna know everything there is to know about Rin, so I'm not complaining in any way, shape, or form).

The gang licked their wounds and recovered a bit back in Sebastian's apartment in the mortal realm after their last clash with the Shadow King and his minions, and had some bonding and smexy times. And now it's time to go back to Faerie, deal with the last key, and begin the last stretch towards capturing Faerie's Heart and being granted the wish to solve all their unsolvable magical problems.

I'm still annoyed by the terrible punctuation and grammar and how repetitive the angst-drenched inner monologues get, but the quick pacing and intense plot are at least still working well to tip the balance toward the series being more exciting than irritating as a whole.
