Book number 532 of my Science Fiction and Fantasy Reading Project
If you have read this far in this series, you know exactly what to expect. Lucivar will bellow a lot and threaten on a regular basis. Daemon Sadi will scare everyone around him frequently. Lucivar's wife Marian will experience physical weakness. Daemon's wife Surreal will want to stab somebody. There will be sexual shenanigans by a younger member of the clan that the adults will have to sort out. Someone will be drinking blood, others will be chugging brandy. (Although not a single brandy snifter was thrown or shattered in this volume. Very disappointing.)
This time around, Lucivar and Marian's ward, Jillian, is the young woman in difficulty. Being an Eyrien, one of the winged race, she matures very slowly, but she is just starting to blossom into womanhood and starting to feel confined by her small community. Ripe for trouble, when another youngster, Dillon, shows up and thinks she is fair game. He has been betrayed and hounded from one community to the next and has become a deft manipulator of young women. He doesn't realize what he has let himself in for!
These books are like cotton candy, light and fluffy, of no nutritional value. However they are fun and quick to read. Once I pick one up, I have a hard time setting it down.
