I love this series because of the wide variety of Fae we get introduced to. And the Fae are not the sweetness and light that some stories and cartoons make them out to be. They are the stuff of the original dark fairytales. There are other reasons I love the series, but most of them fall into a guilty pleasure area.
Taranis finally falls into madness in a way everyone around him can see it, whether or not they choose to. Except of course most humans, because they are not around him all the time like the Fae. And Andais is slightly less crazy in this book. None of the torture or killings she has been famous for in the previous books. This would be because she wants to be allowed to meet Merry's children. As well as the fact she is no longer trying to get Merry to kill her.
There are a few explicit sex scenes in the book, and at one point you are going to want a box of tissues handy. But most of the book revolves around the new babies and their magic. As well as the Taranis story-line. All the old favorite characters are in this book, as well as a few characters we haven't seen much of in a while, and characters we didn't get to know well. I loved the scene with Aisling, and he has a few different moments in this book.
If you've read the previous books, you should read this one. If you like books with a wide variety of Fae that aren't sweetness and light, and don't mind sex scenes, you should read this series.
