Send the messengers for the Faery Courts. This is the end.
The Summer King is missing; the Dark Court is bleeding; and a stranger walks the streets of Huntsdale, his presence signifying the deaths of powerful fey.
Aislinn tends to the Summer Court, searching for her absent king and yearning for Seth. Torn between his new queen and his old love, Keenan works from afar to strengthen his court against the coming war. Donia longs for fiery passion even as she coolly readies the Winter Court for battle. And Seth, sworn brother of the Dark King and heir to the High Queen, is about to make a mistake that could cost his life.
Love, despair, and betrayal ignite the Faery Courts, and in the final conflict, some will win...and some will lose everything.
The thrilling conclusion to Melissa Marr's New York Times bestselling Wicked Lovely series will leave readers breathless.
Oh Darkest Mercy, where do I begin? Were you everything I wanted? Yes and no. You wrapped up most character and relationship threads the way I (mostly) wanted but you left the story right open and I didn't like that. Also what the hell happened to Devlin, Ani, and Sorcha? You can't just have a whole book about a character, then abandon them in the final book for a big battle.
I liked Darkest Mercy but I didn't love it like I loved all the other books. The battle was epic and awesome, but I'm not sure about the rest of the book. It felt a lot like the second half of a book, because all the build up had been in the previous four books, but I was still missing that first half. The calm before the storm, I guess. So I didn't enjoy this as much as I expected. It still had Marr's wonderful writing and her complex relationship dynamics, and I do love that everyone got their happy ever after but ... I was missing something. And what, exactly, was the point of the Shadow court? What did they do? Nada.
*sigh* At least my OTPs are endgame.
