Sequel to Lament: The Faerie Queen's Deception
After the events of last summer, James Morgan was really hoping not to have to deal with faeries again. He thought all that mess would stop once he got to Thornking-Ash School of Music. Fat chance of that happening. Now he has Nuala, a "faerie muse [with] vaguely psychic vampire tendencies" as he puts it hanging around, insulting him and trying to lure him to his death, the king of the dead singing in the hills outside the school every night, someone killing solitary faeries for some unknown reason, and Dee falling apart completely. Oh, and anyone with half a brain can tell that James and Nuala are going to wind up in love. Which is a bit of a problem, seeing as every sixteen years she burns to death on Halloween and then comes back with complete amnesia (and she needs to suck the life out of someone to survive anyway, but the burning thing is the main problem). And guess what this Halloween is?
Alternating between James and Nuala's points of view, with some of Dee's unsent text messages, this is seriously one of my all time favorite books EVER. Seriously. James is so snarky and clever and FUNNY! Maybe not the most action-packed book, but when it's this well written, who cares? It's gripping and awesome anyway. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT! I only read Lament once or twice, but I have read Ballad like five times already. Probably more, actually. Purr, purr, purr. YEEHEEHEEHEEHEE!
