Much has changed since autumn, when Kelley Winslow learned she was a Faerie princess, fell in love with changeling guard Sonny Flannery, and saved the mortal realm from the ravages of the Wild Hunt. Now Kelley is stuck in New York City, rehearsing Romeo and Juliet and missing Sonny more with every stage kiss, while Sonny has been forced back to the Otherworld and into a deadly game of cat and mouse with the remaining Hunters and Queen Mabh herself. When a terrifying encounter sends Kelley tumbling into the Otherworld, her reunion with Sonny is joyful but destined to be cut short. An ancient, hidden magick is stirring, and a dangerous new enemy is willing to risk everything to claim that power. Caught in a web of Faerie deception and shifting allegiances, Kelley and Sonny must tread carefully, for each next step could topple a kingdom . . . or tear them apart. With breathtakingly high stakes, the talented Lesley Livingston delivers soaring romance and vividly magical characters in Darklight, the second novel in the trilogy that began with Wondrous Strange.Itemize Books In Pursuance Of Darklight (Wondrous Strange #2)

I loved Wondrous Strange when I read it earlier in the year. So I have been looking very forward to reading Darklight. It was everything I hoped it would be and then some! Darklight starts off about 6 months after the end of the first book and it starts off with a bang. There is never a moment without suspense and action.Livingston's writing is superb. I'm in love with it! It flows so smoothly that you forget you are reading a book. I also love that you don't just get the story for Kelley'sA really amazing sequel that was so magical and whimsical. I don't why I didn't pick this book up sooner because I love some good old Shakespeare.
This is one time that I think the second book was better than the first. This book was really a 4.5 for me. I am just getting really stingy with 5 stars because I have read so many really incredible books. I liked Darklight better than Wondrous Strange, and I think it is because there was a lot more of the mystique of the Fey in it and less of the mortal realm. That may be because of the new characters that were brought in, and also that I already had been introduced to the world this book takes
"Hmm, every time I walk through this park something tries to kill me. I think I will go for a walk in this park." Oh, Kelley, Fenn and Sonny, along with her Fae parents think it's endearing how adorably stubborn she is. I call it too-stupid-to-live. Kelley is so TSTL that she continually throws herself into the path of danger thereby hurting herself and those who are unfortunate enough to be tasked with protecting her. My favorite part of the story was when the rest of the Janus guard told her
Even better than the first. I loved the addition of leprechauns and the mythology of the green man. It was cool to see how the author connected the two. Excited to see what happens in book three.
Darklight picks up about five months after the events of the first novel. The characters here are just as lovable and well-rounded as in book one, and the new characters added to the ensemble are just as interesting, detailed and useful. No character-dropping here - everybody has a place and contributes to the overall story. And the storyworld of the series is so unique, detailed, and original. Unlike Wondrous Strange (which took place exclusively in New York City), this novel features
Well, it's clearly been too long since I read the first one...or I read the first one too fast... because I had a hard time remembering the finer details of "Wondrous Strange" and it really seemed to impact my enjoyment of reading the sequel, "Darklight". That... or it was a mediocre middle book. I'm not sure. My problem seemed to start out from page one. Things were occuring that I had the smallest grasp of rememberance of. "Ok, I don't remember this, but I'll go with it." It affected my whole
