Shadow and Crystal Thorns (Fae and Crystal Thorns Book 2) by Kay L. Moody – Review by Megan Watson
Shadow and Crystal Thorns by Kay L. Moody
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I had an inkling this book would leave me with a cliffhanger based on the previous book, but I’m not as upset this time around. It is better to read the book and series before this or you won’t understand certain references but the action can be enjoyed regardless of where you are in the series. This book doesn’t have as many references to previous books but they are there.
Chloe has definitely grown throughout this book. She is still a cluts and not very handy in a fight, but she is more willing to try. Her heartfelt attempts are still for others, but some of it begins to spark for herself and it’s wonderful to see her confidence strengthen. Quinn was a lot less enjoyable this book as his anger and prejudice take over his best qualities; but the slow burn between him and Chloe is a nice turn from the bleak mood of the novel. Faerie is dying from iron poisoning after the mortals have infiltrated it. It seems every direction they turn they are met with opposition and only by putting their heads together can they figure out a way to save Faerie.
The characters in this book are enjoyable to read even when they are being asshats. The scenes are detailed enough to envision it in your mind. The ending has me ready to see how things will progress with the next book.
