Aislinn cries. Seth waits around. 389 pages and it's finally over.

Not sure why I'm continuing this series. Curiosity, maybe? There are few characters in this book or series that I even like. Most of the fey are so self-absorbed with their constant 'what's good for my court, what my court needs,' is just boring. I get it, they do what's best for their court, but seriously, I don't need to be beaten over the head with the idea. I get it.The plot of this one takes far far too long to take off. Until Bananach(How do you even pronounce this? Like banana?)takes Seth...

I absolubtely loved this book. The first two books were really good, but this one was superb. After twilight, this series has become my fave YA series.Although you should read the first two books in order to apreciate well this one, do not read this book without haven't read the first two. I usually read paranormal romance for adults, so I wasn't expecting to find this series that interesting. But I did. I love everything about it: The characters, the story, the events, everything. I couldn't s

I'll be honest and just say that my only reason for reading this is Seth. I wish I hadn't =/It's like he's not even the same guy. Being in love is not a good look for him apperently, because it turns him into a lovesick puppy. I wonder at what point he lost his balls. maybe Aislinn accidentally burned them off I kept thinking 'BE A MAN AGAIN DAMMIT'. I got fed up with him pretty much when he decided he wants to be a fairy. -insert laughter here- The way I see it: well Seth... with that kind of b...

Large sections of this book were heartbreaking. Seth’s predicament really got to me--his love for Aislinn, his suffering as he watched her increased involvement with the Summer Court and Keenan, his feelings of powerlessness and vulnerability. When he let Bananach, the insane war faery, lead him to Sorcha, the High Queen, in hope of becoming immortal like Aislinn, I was frightened for him. Seeing him enthralled with Sorcha was unsettling, and I feared it was another version of the Keenan-Aislinn...

[2.5 stars] Okay, let’s keep it real. We all know I’ve had trouble getting into YA lately, but I needed something light to listen to while doing yoga. It turned out to be a rather insightful experience, however, because reading Fragile Eternity help me pinpoint a little better why YA just hasn’t been hitting the spot lately (and I don’t think it’s because I’m getting too old for it, thank the stars).You see, I’m in a reading point in my life where I’m looking for more world building and event-dr...

So I may be the only girl alive who has qualms with this book. In fact, I had so much trouble that it took me a whopping 5 days to read. Although I read Graceling over the span of 3 months, I actually had only spent 2 days actually reading it because it was a huge read. This means that Fragile Eternity was by far the longest book it has ever taken me to read. If I had it my way, meaning I did not have to mail this book out to a friend, I would have taken another week or so, hoping to drag the pa...

"Fragile Eternity" is the sequel to "Wicked Lovely", but the third in Melissa Marr's "Tales of Faerie". Chronologically, it takes place after both WL and "Ink Exchange", although you do not need to read INK to understand this book. However, this book relies heavily on events from WL, and having read INK will allow you pick up on some subtleties.After the events in "Wicked Lovely" (and "Ink Exchange"), Aislinn is now the Summer Queen, Donia is the Winter Queen, and Seth is still just a mortal (al...

I was feeling unsure about this series, because I loved Wicked Lovely but felt "meh"-ish about Ink Exchange. Fragile Eternity is a return to the former, but without the wonder (probably because I know that world now). Seth's journey to be closer to Ash, despite the presence of Keenen and the approach of Summer, is at the heart of this book; the choice he makes is not unexpected, but the ending did take me by surprise. And I have to say I never liked Keenen, so his little "oops" that cost him Don...

If you are a fan of the Wicked Lovely series, you are going to love this sequel. It’s the best book of the series by far. Fragile Eternity begins right where we left off on Wicked Lovely and Ink Exchange. I’d recently read Ink Exchange, but it had been a while since I’d read Wicked Lovely, but fortunately I didn’t have any problems getting right back into the story. I love Melissa’s Marr’s writing, and I think I enjoyed it even more this time after reading her previous two books. It’s very lyric...

The nostalgia of this book series is so real, guys. Honestly, they aren't fantastic but damn if they aren't an addicted quick read. Nothing is realistic. Everything is angsty insta-love and rushed plot development and I still just can't stop reading them.

I like the world Melissa Marr has built, with the faeries and the different courts. The love square among Aislinn, Seth, Keenan, and Doniya is interesting and kind of a mess. With this book, I had a bit of a harder time getting through it. Maybe because the relationships are a bit of a clusterfuck and everyone is hurting each other. I just want Keenan and Doniya, and Aislinn and Seth to be separate couples and it will all be okay. I also was mad at Seth for not having more understanding about Ai...

3 out of 10 ревью на русском/review in russianIt could be 5 out of 10 stars if the book didn't angry me that much. It could be 4 out of 10 stars if I understood that the story wasn't that bad, and the problem was just with my taste being different. But 3 stars mean that I had some hopes and they are shattered now, this is worse than 'not my cup' or 'average read'. Review to come. Seth to die. Wicked Lovely (Коварная Красота):— Wicked Lovely (Коварная Красота) #1/5— Ink Exchange (Роковая татуи

I was really disappointed with this book. I had a hard time even finishing it. By about 2/3 of the way through, I seriously disliked all the characters. Keenan is... ugh. Donia has always been a jerk, but in this book she really takes it to an extreme. I can tell that the author wants us to feel sympathetic to Don, because of her "tragic circumstances", but every major character in this book is dealing with as much or more than Don, and her judgemental and horrible behavior towards them killed a...

Melissa Marr once again gave us a very unexpected and sad ending. All three books so far did not end as you would expect a YA to end. The first wasnt quite sad but just really unexpected, the second was the most sad, and this one is more of a cliffhanger. Its sad because we dont get to find out the fate of Aislinn and Seth. I thought that was what the whole book was leading to so I feel like I've been ripped off, like the ending was missing. Aislinn, Seth, and Niall are the only characters in th...

The long awaited sequel to WICKED LOVELY is here. Melissa Marr was kind enough to give us INK EXCHANGE, a companion to WICKED LOVELY, where we met other characters from this wildly inventive and tantalizing world, but a true sequel is what we really wanted and now we have it.Aislinn (Ash) is dealing with what being the Summer Queen means. She has both physical changes and emotional adjustments to come to terms with. She is spending more and more time with Keenan because of Summer Court business

Not as bad as Ink Exchange, but nowhere near as well done as Wicked Lovely, this series is becoming a real disappointment. Too much recapping and then a rush to the inevitable cliffhanger, which is always a danger with series books and a real disaster with this one. I don't see true long-term success for this series unless Marr can find a way to deliver endings that offer a little closure for readers or at least refine the writing so it isn't all recap, recap, tiny bit of plot, and then the part...

2014 rating: 5 stars2020 rating: 4.5 starsthe angst, the politics, the manipulations, the romances, I can’t take it this series is so fucking good

3.5 StarsI have mixed feelings about this book. I really liked how it contributed to and furthered the story and universe but, some of the characters annoyed me so much and I became unfocused while reading this story more than the previous ones. Pros: -World building. We meet Sorcha, the High Court queen and learn more about why she is removed from the mortal realm. We learn more about Bananach and her relationship with all the other courts and her frame of mind - she becomes more than a craze...

For those unfamiliar with or new to the series, FRAGILE ETERNITY is the third book in Melissa Marr's Wicked Lovely world and the long-awaited direct sequel to Wicked Lovely itself. The painful and beautiful Ink Exchange was more of a companion novel to Wicked Lovely and followed Aislinn's friend Leslie. FRAGILE ETERNITY picks up shortly after the end of Ink Exchange and divides its time between the four original principals--Aislinn, Seth, Keenan, and Donia. All of them are struggling to deal wit...
