Moonkind (2013) - Plot & Excerpts

Fer hoped to settle down to a quiet life with her grandmother and her people, but her troubles are far from over. The oath she required of the Lords and Ladies who had hunted the pucks was one they found impossible to fulfill---and now that they are Forsworn, consequences inevitably follow. As their oaths were to Fer, it's up to her to make things right. But can she convince them before everything is lost?Given what Fer made them swear, it isn't surprising the Lords and Ladies found her request both intolerable and impossible. She does realize eventually that the oath was a mistake, and it would have been better to convince them instead of force them to avoid the glamories.Fer and Rook's relationship is opposite now what it used to be: now she's the one not trusting him, and he's trying to prove himself to her. Now, when it matters more than ever, Rook finds Fer can only see him as a puck, not a friend. The other pucks still give Rook a hard time about Fer, but they are pucks, and dedicated to each other.Sarah Prineas has a gift for writing powerful endings, and that shows up again here. I was particularly fond of what happens to Fer and the pucks . . . it's certainly a promise of trouble to come, at least for everyone around them.Overall this is a good finale, though I wouldn't mind seeing more in this world. Fer went farther than a lot of other characters in faerie stories I've seen, but there's still a lot of room for her to grow and explore. I rate this book Recommended. A dark changelessness called the Stilth is spreading through all the lands, because the Lords and Ladies who made an oath to Fer to remove their glamories are forsworn (and oaths are a really big thing in this altiverse). Fer is part human, and so an agent of Change---but the Stilth can only be driven back if the Forsworn voluntarily agree to honor their oaths. Force will not butter the biscuit. Like the previous episodes, an uncomplicated fantasy with a particularly appealing cast (including a giant, stinky spider that really deserves a larger role), and strong underpinnings based on the theme of "staying true." Even though Rook and the other pucks are very close to the center I think the author could have done more with them. Still, I like this series very much, and think Prineas has a particular gift for creating strong, simple characters.
