Shadowfever by Karen Marie Moning
5.0
I'm speechless.
This series has captivated me for the past week. I have been living, breathing, dreaming Barrons and Mac and the war with Unseelie. And I am so happy with the way it has ended (or ended...for now :P). While many of my questions from the previous books were answered, the ending still left so much open for discussion.
Shadowfever is not a tame book. Nothing is what it seems and everything, to borrow a term from Ryodan, flips. I don't think I can count how many times my jaw hit the floor.
Mac surprised me the most. No longer the light southern-small town American girl; but a strong, calculating women fighting for survival. And yet, she still managed to do silly Mac things that made me smile. What made me smile more was the amount of times Barrons called her Mac, and the still present eye-conversations and little arguments that went on between our leading lady and man.
I was shocked by how much was still happening in the last book. While the search was still on for the Sinsar Dubh, the Lord Master a constant problem, and the sidhe-seers causing problems, little moved forward until midway through the book. Little things (like who killed Alina, was there a fourth making Mac Pri-ya, and just what is Barrons...?) were almost left unresolved. And some answers left more questions.
I felt the ending was a little rushed. It didn't take away from how I felt about the book as a whole, I thought it was fabulous and I'm really sad it's ended, but with all that was going on, there could have been a bigger battle or more of an explanation for the way it ended.
As a final comment,I have to say I'm extremely impressed by the indestructible Jericho Barrons. His theme song really is Tubthumping, because no-one can knock him down.
Fabulous series. I enjoyed every minute of it.
6/5 stars :)
