Shadow Heir (Dark Swan #4)
Shaman-for-hire Eugenie Markham strives to keep the mortal realm safe from trespassing entities. But as the Thorn Land's prophecy-haunted queen, there's no refuge for her and her soon-to-be-born-children when a mysterious blight begins to devastate the Otherworld...
The spell-driven source of the blight isn't the only challenge to Eugenie's instincts. Fairy king Dorian is sacrificing everything to help, but Eugenie can't trust the synergy drawing them back together. The uneasy truce between her and her shape shifter ex-lover Kiyo is endangered by secrets he can't--or won't--reveal. And as a formidable force rises to also threaten the human world, Eugenie must use her own cursed fate as a weapon--and risk the ultimate sacrifice...
2.5 stars, if that. UGH! HUGE disappointment. Thats all I'm willing to say right now. ~Edited for final words above.~Pre-review:If Kiyo doesn't end up a soft, pretty wall decoration in Dorians home, I may have to quit you, Richelle Mead. (Adrians story being the only exception, of course.)
I really don't know if I loved this book or if I absolutely hated it. Rage-written review, proceed with caution Now let me explain. This is the worst series ending I have ever read!!!! Why do I prefer PNR/UF/romance? Because of the happy endings. Because I know that, not matter how good/bad a book is, it will end up on a happy note.This book? GAHHHHH!!!I haven't been so pissed off on a book since... forever, maybe. Or a long time, certainly. I mean, I get the open endings, if you plan on
3.5(view spoiler)[ahaha!!!! i knew the baby was Dorian's!!! I just knew it!!!!!! thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Richelle Mead! sorry, had to get that out of my system (hide spoiler)]not one of my favourite books in the series, but i really liked the final quarte. i wanted more relationship stuff with Dorian and the poopdeck Kitsune involved, it only really started happening at the end, which is why i liked the ending so much. still, four stars is pretty good. but i really, really, really
I was careful not to read the reviews for this beyond their first lines because I knew a lot of readers were disappointed by its resolution and ending. But all the way through I was anticipating the BIG LET DOWN. Right up to 95 %, I thought I had escaped it, but there it was, right at the end to sucker punch me.I ended up disliking the main character quite a bit. The author presented an admittedly flawed character who I liked anyway. She was involved in a very frustrating love triangle
ETA 3/22/18: ARRRRRRGGGGGGHHH! I forgot that's how it ended! Even after reading my review prior to my re-read. I mean, I remembered absolutely loathing Kiyo...even remembered the secret he divulged that he'd been keeping from Eugenie for far too long. But I forgot about that open ending. Gaaaaah. Those will be the death of me. I'm just going to pretend that Eugenie told Dorian and they all lived happily ever after. =D****Really? Isn't this the final book in the series? That's how you're gonna
I dont know whether to rate it high or low because it was a great book but i was quite disatisfied with the ending . I want to know what his reaction would be - those that have read it know what i'm talking about - and i just wish it had ended different, she has to tell him or their relashioship isn't going to work. To be honest i wouldn't forgive someone if they lied about that - not that they can because i'm female. I can kind of (a tinsy bit) see where she is coming from but i would never

3.5 stars Oh Eugenie, Eugenie, Eugenie. Throughout all four of the Dark Swan books, I feel like you could have used a good girlfriend you could call whenever you had the urge to do something silly. Unfortunately, you didn't have my number, and as much as I've enjoyed your company, I still have to fight the urge to shake some sense into you, even after all this time.In Shadow Heir, Eugenie Markham has her twin babies but hides them away in fear of their safety. She returns to the faery world to2.5 stars, if that. UGH! HUGE disappointment.
