It is mostly a book about Faeries and the Otherworld. Romance isn’t the primary focus of this novel but neither is Shakespeare. I really appreciate her ability to weave and create worlds and it’s what makes her work so enjoyable in my opinion.Ī great paranormal young adult read for those who like unpredictable stories. Livingston weaves all her story elements together so well that it’s easy to follow. they didn’t do a 180 in the second book to become a different character) which is a huge bonus for me.Īlthough Shakespeare plays a big role in the background information of the story, it isn’t necessary to know A Midsummer Night’s Dream by heart to get a feel for the book or understand what is going on.

Unlike some series that have weaker books in order to progress, I found that these books built upon each other to reach a final climax. Each book in the series has a great, solid story. Obviously, I am happy to say that this series did not disappoint! It has everything I enjoy in a series, like action, romance, plot twists and great characters. It seemed like an awesome combo so I was excited to begin. The Wicked Lovely Series which is another personal favourite series) so I was intrigued to how Faeries would be portrayed in this book (as they tend to vary in series). Anything with his name and I am there so to pick up this book was a no brainer. If you have read some of my other reviews, you know that I am a Shakespeare nut. It was with this series that Lesley Livingston became a must-read author for me. This series is one that I could reread again and again–I actually borrowed all the books from the library and then decided to buy them all because I enjoyed them so much.
