Explanation In Favor Of Books Shadow Heir (Dark Swan #4)
#1 New York Times bestselling author Richelle Mead returns to the Otherworld, a mystic land inextricably linked to our own--and balanced precariously on one woman's desperate courage... 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...Specify Based On Books Shadow Heir (Dark Swan #4)

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, reallyI 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
It's all about Dorian for me. For him, I give this three stars. Also liked the faerie aspects. Otherwise, this didn't ring my bell. Full review will be published in the January 2012 Affaire de Coeur issue. http://affairedecoeur.com.
Originally posted at WickedLilPixie ReviewsBlurrrg. What. the. hell? That was my initial reaction upon completing Shadow Heir. As the last book in Richelle Meads Dark Swan series, I will tell you right now I expected more. Way more. Especially after the great steps back Eugenie made as a character and Queen in the previous book, Iron Crowned. But I hung on, I thought maybe this would just be a case of us needing to remember we can all take a few steps back, but still detour back on course.
I am sad to see how this series,whick I had loved, ended with me feeling very let down. RM made Euguie into the biggest hypocrite I have ever read! OMG I HATED how she ended this series! Have to say, Dorian was definitley the best part of the series,and deserves someone better than Eugiene. My wish is that he finds out THE TRUTH,gets the twins and kicks her out on her ass for not telling him he was their father!
2.5 stars ~ Other than being a little slow in the beginning, I enjoyed ALMOST every bit of this book...had the ending been different, it would have been 4-4.5 stars. However, the last page or two involved a decision by Eugenie that I wholeheartedly oppose and am abhorred by...for those last 2 pages, I would give it 1 star. Therefore, I am averaging the two and coming up with 2.5 stars as a final result.Words cannot even describe the disappointment I am feeling as I write this review. I LOVE
Please excuse my french but...What kind of Bullshit was that?! I waited 4 books just for the series to end with a CLIFFHANGER!!!!!!!! I know I am not the only one that feels that there should be a 5th book in the making. I mean how can you end the book that way. What kind of monster are you?!!! Richelle ANSWER MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! This book was like a mega mindfuck. IF she ever writes another adult series, I can guarantee I will be highly hesitant to read it. Note to all Writers*Never end
