This drives Dani to rush through the Silver mirrors of the fae and become lost. So the storyline…Mac confronts Dani planning to make her peace, but instead finds that she still isn’t ready to forgive the girl for her sister’s death. It’s like she’s a different person right now (and she is since she goes by Jada and says she’s not Dani) which is why I was okay with it, but I don’t know what will happen if the Dani side of her split person ever makes an appearance.
She’s a cold, icy beautiful warrior woman who puts Mac into the shadows and is now old enough to tantalize the equally strong and cunning Ryodan. KMM used the fae world inside the Silvers with its own rules about time to age the girl about five years and split her personality so now she is nothing like the Dani of old. I’m going to reserve opinion on how I feel about that until I read the next book. But wow, that was an interesting choice to shock the readers when it comes to Dani. The decision to swing the spotlight back on Mac and away from Dani was disappointing to me. Instead of engaging with Barrons, their presence as a couple is lacking and barely present. Mac is a pale shadow of the dark, raw warrior woman of Shadowfever. The sharp, tight plot of the earlier books are not present in this one. But we’re stuck with Mac worried because she has the evil book inside her, worried because she can’t use her spear, worried because creepy creatures are following her, worried because people can’t know that she knows xyz’. It was Mac in a holding pattern- ‘Can’t do this, can’t do that, can’t, can’t, can’t…because, because, because’.
She was this static, stagnant piece that bogged down the story and kept the reader stuck in her head so much. See, that is the point- everything was going on around her. Any enjoyment I had was for everything and everyone else that was going on around her I’m just going to get it out of the way- Mac was a boring and annoying heroine. I found it a disappointment to a certain extent and it was very much a transition book. Interesting things happened, but it will depend on perspective to decide if it made for a good installment to the series. This one picked up some of those threads for which I was glad, but it was one of those ‘be careful what you wish for’ reads. I liked where it was going and how all the characters were interacting. I was ready to keep pursuing story threads that were introduced in Iced. I came to this book after recently finishing Iced.
