CATCHALL
These books should not be allowed to get better and better. Seriously. It should be illegal. These books are just like way too awesome to be believed. I have no clue how they continually become even more amazing, but somehow, magically, they do. And I, for one, am very happy about it!
THE HERO
JASON
I still love Jason. He's awesome, and in this book we get a sense of his fierce loyalty to his family above all else. I love that. He doesn't let the fame they're getting really go to his head. At least not too much. And it's pretty understandable when it does! He is really such a relatable character, and that's one of my favorite things in a novel! I especially liked him in this book because not only is he relatable, he has a great sense of humor. And he's brave. He risks things, but he doesn't have a death wish.
THE LOVE INTEREST
ERIN
I really like Erin. She's sweet, and she doesn't have too much attitude while still having a distinct personality. In each book that passes I get to know her better and better and I love it. Erin, like Jason, like all the characters actually, is incredibly relatable. She really makes the story so enjoyable!
THE OTHER BAND MEMBERS
MITCH
I love Mitch so much, it's ridiculous. As I've said many times before, I love his sense of humor. He's a little bit crazy, but I love me some crazy. There's nothing in the world better than a little crazy! He's super fun but under the surface, he's clearly a really good person. Maybe a little bit obsessed with the band, but it's not hard to see why.
DRED
Dred is still not my most favorite character, but I actually do like her now. I really think that she thinks things out to much, which is kind of boring. But then I suppose that someone has to be the voice of reason, and she does make a very good one.
THE LUTIST
AOIDE
I love Aoide! In the first book, there was next to nothing to mention about her. But as this series goes on, I've found myself being drawn to her character more and more. She's really brave, and she's clever, too. I love her boldness and her attitude! I can't wait to see what happens next for her.
THE QUEENSGUARD CAPTAIN
ICARUS
I have no clue why I'm going to mention him, but I am. There's something sexy about him, I'm not going to lie. And there's something to admire in his loyalty, too, even if I personally believe it's to the wrong person. I still strongly admire his sense of loyalty and I definitely know that I want to learn more about him.
THE PLOT
I love the plot of this book.
Action, action, and action keeps building slowly until a thrilling climax!
There's such a great amount of action. It's impossible to take a break from Fairystruck once you start. Seriously. It's literally impossible to put down because you constantly need to know just what awesome thing is going to happen next.
Seriously, I adore the plot. It's completely awesome and I am completely in love. I could read this over and over and over and never grow bored. Ever.
The plot was seriously incredible.
THE ROMANCE
Romance, romance, romance. I love me my romance, which y'all know. And I love that the romance in this book doesn't dominate the entire novel. Yet it's still excellently written. In fact, it's some of the best written romance that I've ever read. It's absolutely fan-freaking-tastic. There's nothing better than beautifully written romance. I love the development, and the pace and everything about it. It especially want to see how it all ends.
THE WRITING
Ah, I love Jeff's writing. I say this every time, but, well, I mean it every time! And unbelievably enough, it somehow keeps getting better and better. It's always been amazing, but the description literally sparkles and the dialogue—oh my gosh, the dialogue. The dialogue is incredible, too. Things people would actually say, and the faerie dialogue too is perfect in that way. Utterly amazing. Marvelous. Spectacular.
THE ENDING
The ending was perfect. Thrilling! It couldn't have been better, and yet it was wholly unexpected. Everything from the book comes together beautifully in a stunning and amazing conclusion. I love it. It left me wanting so much more! It was absolutely incredible. I loved it so much and it really helped draw everything together for me. The ending was magnificent! So magnificent!
WRAPUP
I feel satisfied but not so satisfied that I don't want more! I'm going to be starting Fairyland soon, and eagerly. This is one of my all-time favorite series and I can confidently recommend it to pretty much everyone! These books are simply incredible!
FINE.
