A thoughtful commentary on such societal issues as transphobia, colonialism, and white supremacy, the Fae Keeper keeps the pace of its predecessor, moving from big moment to the next. Ultimately the climax is surprising and haunting. The battles from the first book are not made light of, and are dealt with careful consideration. Adventurous, while not making war seem glorious, and simultaneously makes fights for social issues worthy. The characters are witty, diverse, and their relationships grow more complex. Overall a fun read, while at times dark and gruesome.
