I loved this series before and then I saw that this book is coming out and I thought it was because the author just didn't want to give up. A lot of authors don't know when to end a series. But I am glad she continued this because I didn't realize that there was so much more that could be told. I love how this reveals a lot more of the history of Faerie and how it came to be. I found it very fascinating. I really enjoyed this book, so if you read the first three and are debating whether or not to read this one like I was, just read it! It's worth the time. This entire series has taken a decided downhill turn. The first book was really good; the second and third were pretty decent...but this installment was so bleak, and Tania so impulsive and somewhat self-righteous, that i found it really hard to engage with the story. Tania irritated me to no end (I feel kind of sorry for Edric for being stuck in love with her, especially after his public attempt at a Define-The-Relationship moment didn't work so well), and after the first five pages or so, virtually nothing good happened in this book. People die, get deathly ill, estranged, trapped, banished, heartbroken...and it doesn't even all get wrapped up in the end - these cliffhangers are becoming abominable. The entire book felt like a cross between an unnecessary sequel to the original trilogy and a mess of really depressing groundwork for the next book. I'm hoping The Enchanted Quest provides a solid, satisfactory ending to the series, and that Tania straightens herself out by then.
What do You think about The Immortal Realm (2009)?
One book too far. Everything was neatly rapped up, and then this. Ah well.

Not quite as dark as the third book. Cliffhanger ending.
