“Music and lightening, beauty and strength, magic and legend....”
I absolutely adore the world of Dreamdark that Laini Taylor created! I've always loved fairies, but I don't think I've come across a story where they were done so incredibly well and the world that they inhabit so alluring. What a wonderful journey and with characters I won't soon forget!
This second volume is just as good as the first and the new characters are gems right along with the ones I already came to know and love in the first book. Whisper and Hirik were both great additions. I was caught by the emotion I felt for all the characters. Sometimes I wanted to laugh with them or cry with them or give them a hug. The expanding world in this second book was a wonderful new avenue of fairies and creatures and an aesthetic and flavour that I truly enjoyed. Laini Taylor has a wonderful way of writing that immerses you in that world through touch and smell and just a visceral language that manages to put you right there....I've never wanted SO much to run away with a fairy and crow gypsy caravan!
I really hope she continues the series at some point, because I fell in love and this was definitely a cliffhanger ending in need of some resolutions.
High recommendation for the Dreamdark books though, they may just be my favourite fairy centred books ever and will definitely go on my favourites book list!
