Eagle Eyes was out of the house! I whipped out the book, destroyed the box evidence, took off the book cover and put it in a cabinet, and artfully inserted the book into the TBR pile. As with the other books, it is must-reading if you follow the Sookie Stackhouse stories, but I do feel the fairy connection is the weakest part of the series.įTC Disclaimer: I got this book using an Amazon gift certificate, and here’s the best part! The box arrived when Mr. But a great deal has happened now, and Harris doesn’t even try to explain most of it. In the beginning of the series, Harris was able to recapitulate much of the ongoing plot for readers new to these books. Then he leaves, before Sookie can ask him whether he meant Bill or Eric.Įvaluation: I wouldn’t recommend this book as stand-alone reading without the rest of the series there is too much that wouldn’t make sense. “The vampire is not a bad man, and he loves you.” As the book ends with the temporary resolution of the fairy war, Sookie’s great-grandfather kisses her goodbye – perhaps forever – and tells her:
There are some terrible deaths in this book, and some terrible losses suffered by the characters. The werewolf and vampire communities get involved because Sookie is in danger, and they both owe her for the times she has saved their lives. Most of the rest of the story concerns a war between good fairies and bad fairies (the leader of the former being Sookie’s great-grandfather). The book begins with the public “coming out” of the shape-shifters – those humans who occasionally can transform themselves into different animals.
This is the last completed volume in the Sookie Stackhouse series of romance-mystery-vampire books, and so it’s a sad book for me on two levels: the fact that there are no more (for the nonce) and the fact that the story itself is sad.
