Ink Exchange Review

Don't you just love those long summer nights where you can lie in bed with a good comfort read. I know I do because that's the best part of summer and reading in general; its the ability to escape from everyday life into a fantastical setting with amazing characters. What better world to visit than the world of the fey with the different fey courts. Some faerie books are quite dull or uninteresting to continue in the series, but Melissa Marr has done great justice to the fey world; she makes you want to interact with the characters and to learn more about the fey courts.

What to say about the novel Ink Exchange by Melissa Marr. Well to start of with the story is a sort-of sequel to Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr. The story in Ink Exchange follows a new character but returning character of Leslie, a friend of Aislinn the new Summer Queen and her struggle to survive and find herself. In comparison of the two novel I like Wicked Lovely a lot better that Ink Exchange, but I still enjoy this fey series better than the Modern Fairy Tale series by Holly Black. Melissa Marr does a remarkable job of characterizing her character and having the character drive the story rather the plot or other story element move the story along. All in all, the Wicked Lovely series is a interesting take on the fey and I totally enjoy all the characters of Keegan, Aislinn, Niall, Leslie and many others. If you are looking for exciting characters to read about then pick up the Wicked Lovely series and you will be entertained. There are still more in the series that I have let read, but if they are anything like the first two novels I can't wait to buy, read and finish the series. This has been your surrogate crazy signing off, live in let live.
