review 1: Of the fae, when a mortal touches Gancanagh they become obsessed and begin to wither away from want. That's pretty much how I feel about the Wicked Lovely series.In retrospect, these books were ridiculously unnecessary, but I loved them. When I finished Ink Exchange I wasn't ready to be done with Leslie, Irial and Niall's story. I thought more could be told and this was perfect. I can see how both of these set up the next stories and it only makes me want to read them more!
review 2: Three and three-quarter stars. While I understand that not everyone can have a HEA, of all the characters in the Wicked Lovely series I felt Leslie deserved one most of all. But she, along with Irial and Niall, seemed doomed to never reach that, being that Leslie is human and f... moreears...not the Dark Court itself, but what she may become if part of it. And yet everyone else at the end of the final book in the series got their HEA. And I'm peeved about it. Which I guess is an issue with the plot, rather than the writing style. Melissa Marr writes beautifully, with an unusual way of combing phrases to produce a very visual piece of writing. But Leslie was the character in the series I was drawn to, and through her I grew to love Irial and Niall and...I guess I wanted more for them than they got...so I finished this...disappointed. It's up to an author how a plot progresses, but it's hard when it's so far from what you hoped for... less
