Katherine has spent her life aware that her bloodlines are only half-mortal. When one of the creatures she's been hiding from discovers her in the desert, she expects danger-instead, she feels fascinated by Uri in a way she never dreamed possible.

But the appearance of Urian-son of the former Dark King-has brought the Faery Courts into conflict.

Soon, the new lovers are drawn into fights and flights as secrets are revealed. Neither family ties nor accidental love can keep the balance between the courts now that the Dark Sun has returned.

Muddled but Fun

Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2022

Verified Purchase

Trying to review this is so hard because I dearly loved the first series. But I want to be fair to this as well.

If you aren’t all that attached to the original characters or didn’t have a strong impression from the introduction we got with Uriel then I imagine you’d likely give this five stars. It has all of Marr’s beautiful storytelling … but

Uriel feels nothing like the bitter and hate filled fae we encounter in the shorts that tease this story.
And I hate the way this impacts the original series. I’m trying not to spoil anything. But I just can’t understand what the point of some of the actions in the first series were if we end up here. I understand the need for conflict for plot but…
Also it’s very muddled. This doesn’t have the same … care. We got. For Ash and Seth or even Nial and Irial and Leslie. Or heck, even Thelma and Irial felt like it had more weight.
I did enjoy it. But it was a light read without the emotional impact I hope for from Marr

Still recommend it, but maybe not to anyone who loved the ending of Darkest Mercy and was happy with how things were.

Dark and sweet, but no edge

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2022

Verified Purchase

Urian was not the terrifying, ominous, dangerous figure teased in prior novels, but rather a petulant, entitled brat. For a century-old man who grew up with Thelma and the High Queen as mothers, I’d expect his character to have a bit more depth if not maturity. I don’t mind disliking a character, but I do want to become enthralled nonetheless. Unfortunately, any sense of mystery and edge go out the window the moment he opens his trap to complain about his heritage.

And speaking of dangerous faeries with teddy bear hearts, Irial makes several appearances. At this point, it’s difficult to portray Irial in a darker, more sinister light since we’re now way more intimate with him than before. While he’s coming into his role as a parent, I do miss the mystery and edge that normally accompanies his character.

I loved the Hunt in this novel. We get a pretty fresh take and some intriguing knowledge on how it all works. Without giving much away, I like the “entanglement” formed as a result of the new developments. It’s exciting. In more ways than one.

And lastly, Ash and Seth. I like that we get to see more of them. Not just because I like their story, but also because their ending was imperfect in the last novel. Seth must spend six months of the year away from Ash’s side. Meanwhile, this 20-something year old regent must rule Summer without a king or consort while the other courts have rulers or consorts with centuries worth of experience. That’s far from a HEA, which is why I had a hard time accepting the ending to her story.
This novel focuses on the unpacking of Ash’s deeper insecurities where their relationship is concerned. And I really do appreciate the shadows and anxiety starting to creep into the fate of their relationship. That’s what makes it a wild journey.

I believe those who gave lesser ratings are certainly entitled. Maybe it’s because we’re now 10 years older from when this all started? Not sure if that affects the “loss of magic” many are lamenting, but I think it’s difficult to continuously deliver the same magic 10 years later, with newer characters, in an ever-changing world where we must also adhere to PC shifts. Whatever the shortcomings are here, I think most can agree that the author still writes beautifully.

A new Wicked Lovely book!

Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2022

Dark Sun by Melissa Marr is the new Wicked Lovely book that will appeal to fans of the series! Although it's book one in the Wicked Lovely Courts series, you really need to have read the previous books in order to avoid spoilers and to fully enjoy this one. The story revolves around Katherine, a half-mortal and half-fae. One day, she meets Urian, the son of a former Dark King, and they start to fall in love. Will their love survive the chaos of the Faerie Courts?

Here is an enchanting excerpt from the Prologue, which is from Sorcha's point of view:

"Standing before the High Queen, Irial--former Dark King and currently the embodiment of Chaos--looked somehow more regal in Faerie than he should. He held no dominion here, hadn't for centuries. He wasn't even Sorcha's balance now, but Irial was as commanding as he had been when he was ruling the creatures of nightmares. Faerie recognized it, or maybe Faerie merely reflected the High Queen's recognition.
Either way, the sky was cloudier, simply because Irial was here instead of in the mortal world where he lived. Once, he and all fey had lived in this world, removed from humans. Safe. Together.
But the once-Dark-King was a gancanagh, a seducer of mortals and faeries. Even Faerie was too small for him when he started feeling the urge to wander."

Overall, Dark Sun is an amazing adult fantasy novel that hails the return of the "original" fae courts. This book will appeal to fans of the A Court of Thorns and Roses series. One highlight of this book is the worldbuilding and magical traditions. That was what originally drew me to the original Wicked Lovely series years ago when I was in high school. I loved reading Wicked Lovely, and I am so happy that the author is continuing the series. Another highlight of this book is the nostalgia for me. It's so nice to be able to read new adventures in familiar worlds and reminisce about the past. If you're intrigued by the excerpt above, or if you're a fan of faeries, I highly recommend that you check out this book, which is available now!
