review 1: This book series feels like modern urban fantasy, but it is set in a secondary world with a technology level around 1600s (I think). It is high fantasy with elvers, goblins, magic items and all that jazz. I call it metropolitan fantasy because it is very much centered around huge cities in the same way that urban fantasy is, but to destivisage it from urban fantasy, that is my clever name for the genre. I have read a handful of secondary world fantasies that fits this genre and so far I liked all of them.This is the fourth book in the Raine Banares series - so I of course like the series, or I wouldn't have continued this long, now would I? The series is quite light in tone, if not in content. There are tons of clever banter, smoking hot men (and women), magic, political i... morentrigue and all the good stuff I love in light fantasy novels. I am even so luck that this book had the series first smoking hot sex scene (yeay!).It is not the kind of book that is super deep or will leave you with things to ponder for weeks, however it is great fun, high paced and very entertaining. In other words a good summer read.
review 2: This was my least liked so far though I really, really liked it. I think the plot wasn't as complete as the others and there are too many strings left hanging. Still there is a lot resolved. This one has sex and the love triangle is resolved though I won't spoil the answer here. We get a lot of who is on Reine's side and who is not.I like how Shearin makes the women not all evil, vindictive, or just mean. Although there really aren't very many women, the ones she has are kick ass and smart.This book is about fighting the escaped souls and the reapers that want them and any others they can get from Raine. Personally I think she should give the whole lot to them, then maybe the Sahgred would die of starvation. Then again she would probably go with them so... less
