A great Sequel to Eventide! DO NOT READ THIS BOOK WITHOUT READING EVENTIDE. This book contains spoilers and many references to Eventide and takes place 3 months after the events of eventide.
THIS is also NOT a romantic Fantasy (Thank God, I was actually a little scared to pick this up).
This is a comedy adventure first and foremost. Romance may be the motivation behind most of the characters actions, but it has nothing to do with the plot.
This is a story about a young man whose like 14 and wants to be a pirate, a bard who wants to get payed for matchmaking, a girl whoes pride is scorned after her fiance diches town, a con-woman trying to make a quick buck and mess around with their ex boyfriend, a man searching for his lover who is a djinni, a woodsman in a toxic relationship with a dryad, and a rich girl who wants a baby boy for a boyfriend.
Did I just list a bunch of characters? yes, yes I did. As the plot of this book is "what are these characters Doing!!?!?"
If you want something similar, I would recommend Durarara, (and Baccano to a lesser extent), a series about characters doing crazy things for love.
