Beauty is the conclusion of the Faery trilogy.
The author wraps it all up very nicely with this book.
Bronwyn is the younger sister to the twin kings, Beck and Cian Finn. Believed to be dead, Bron has been living on her home plane under an alias for over thirteen years. She and Gillian, the sister to the Unseelie twin brothers have hidden out from her uncle after he killed her parents.
Now that her brothers have come into their power, she learned that her childhood dream playmates Lach an Shim are real and have come to seal their bond with her and rescue her.
But she doesn’t need rescuing. She needs to help defeat her evil uncle and help her brother reclaim their rightful place as Kings of the realm.
I was surprised how effectively the author wrapped everything up. It was great story telling and had the main characters from the first two books, as well as a couple secondary ones. I especially loved the way King Seamus’ shade was handled. However, I wish that Duffy was handled differently. But heroes like their warrior endings, don’t they?
All in all, this was a winning trilogy and the final book was damned good.

I don't know why I picked up this book. It came out of nowhere but I wanted to read about this world and its weird relationships. It doesn't make any sense, but it's fun and it's ridiculous.
I liked the story, even if it was very simple, but there was something kind of off, the pacing was uncomfortable and I couldn't really flow with it. The plot felt rushed and dragged at the same time. I kind of wanted it to be over.

more like 2.5 *. A potentially good story under a lot of extraneous material. The middle half of the book plodded but the finale rescued it somewhat.
