This is the 2nd book in the Lightworld/Darkworld series. This book was really hard to rate. I liked it occasionally and hated it the rest of the time. Love it or hate it, I couldn't put it down.
Synopsis (from back of book): Once upon a time yet to come, creatures of myth and fairy tale gained entry to the human realm- and were expelled with extreme prejudice. Banished underground, they carved out two kingdoms: the Lightworld of the fae and their kin, and the Darkworld of demons, werewolves and their ilk. But the boundaries between these worlds and the upworld are about to be redrawn...in blood.
At a Lightworld royal gala, Queen Ayla announces the betrothal of her daughter, Cerridwen, to a high-ranking councilor. Though strategically brilliant, the engagement comes as a shock- to Cerridwen especially. Infuriated by er mother's high-handedness, ignorant of her own true origins, she flees the court- leaving herself vulnerable to those who would see the Lightworld destroyed.
Amid burgeoning unrest, desperate desires become divided loyalties and terrifying mercenaries lurk in the shadowy space between rebellion and anarchy.
My thoughts: This book was much darker than the first in the series. I spent a lot of time hating Ayla, it was like she is a completely different person in this book, and feeling sorry for Malachi. I would say this book have very little romance. This book was like a train wreck I just couldn't turn away from. Also the cover was weird. The only correlation I could make between the seahorse is that in the book there are horrible creatures called water horses. Hm... mm... just for being able to make it through this book I gave it a 3/5.
