Now, a powerful Seelie has escaped and the war is back. Then our world finally realized that the Seelies in the Court of Dawn are the enemy paranormal while the Consularis are not the enemy, having been forced by the Court to fight. That battle ended but only a year ago, Sensitives were still illegal and Paranormals were imprisoned. The Veil was torn and a yearlong battle was fought between Paranormals and New Orleans eight years ago. It’s a standard meme that appears in so many stories, and unfortunately, it does seem to happen too often in real life. A soldier pissed off because the other side killed a fellow soldier. Well, I guess he is consistent, as that’s what he wants with Elysium too.Īnnnnd here we go again. I do love that Malachi puts Camael in his place. And I gotta agree with Malachi, these guys are so beyond decency. There’s a good bit of weaseling going on between the good guys and the Prefects with Malachi accusing them of cowardice and being, generally, major jerks. The Beyond’s beginning paralleled the original invasion of our world, with magic users demonized, tortured until a good use was found for magic. The evolution of that “perfect” Elysium sounds like the conflict on Terra about magic. And Claire figures it out, that this is why the war was begun. It’s why Malachi prefers Terra (our world). A static world where nothing will ever change. Revelations about home and love.Įlysium is so perfect, so docile, so unforgiving of dissent. The “party” was kind of fun, especially with Liam’s surprise for Claire, who has been reminiscing about what would have happened if the first battle had never occurred.
I’d’ve thought the first person protagonist point-of-view from Claire’s perspective would have made her issues more exciting, but…no.ĭang, it’s more action than character-driven, but it’s a close call, for the pace dithers between fast and slow - it’s so uneven that I mostly read straight through to get it done. The conflict between Claire and Liam seems minor while Malachi’s and Rachel’s seems more intense. Sure I was absolutely appalled by the Prefects’ attitude, but that was probably the most exciting conflict. A good thing really, as this installment is one of the most dull with minor conflicts and few deep events. I gotta admit, this reads like the end of the series.
