A review by marpesea
A Shiver of Light by Laurell K. Hamilton
This series continues to be overwrought and absurd, but it does have less sex and violence than previous books and more weird family dynamics and politicking.
That said, we still know the build, hair color and eye color of every character and what they’re wearing. Why have I read through book nine? It’s a perfectly adequate popcorn read and sometimes I really want something that reads like a magical soap opera crossed with a reverse harem anime. I do really love that there’s a bit about immortal fae being encouraged to seek therapy after years of abuse at the hands of unscrupulous rulers.
TW: sexual menace, attempted rape, torture, etc.
