Night Vision by Yasmine Galenorn
5.0
I make it a point to read every Yasmine Galenorn book (fiction) that is released as soon as I'm able to get my hands on a copy. And while I enjoy her Otherworld series very much, the Indigo Court is my favorite. This newest installment, Night Vision, did not disappoint me.
Life handed me a crappy event earlier this week, so I was very happy to finally get this book as it allowed me to escape from life for a while.
Cicely and Rhia are on the fast track to becoming the queens of Winter and Summer and have to contend with some heavy stuff in Night Vision. Galenorn is great at handling the darker side of her characters lives, and does not pull any punches with her writing. She doesn't gloss over the messy ugliness of things in her worlds, but still manages to entertain her readers very well, in every aspect.
Myst takes a backseat in this installment, but we never forget that she is out there, regrouping after the events of the previous book. Instead, the cousins and their friends, have to deal with some other leftovers, Geoffrey and Leo.
Unwilling to stay locked away in their new realms, they head out into the town to choose wedding dresses. Caught up in the excitement of the moment, they drop their guard and things become very bad, very quickly. Leo is after Rhiannon, Geoffrey and Crawl (eep! Yup, someone let Crawl loose!) are after Cicely and in the maelstrom, the group learns that some of the people they depend on aren't dependable after all and others become more important to them.
There is a large cast of characters, but I had no trouble keeping them all straight. Some new developments have left me thinking that summer of next year is a long time to wait for the next book! I can't wait to see how Rhia and Cicely grow into their new roles as Queens and Wives.
