"The Resistance" lives up to the others in this series in terms of Rusch's world building and characterization, which remain consistently strong. However, this book gives the impression of being more of an interlude in the action, while characters move from Point A to Point B, than a vital part of the development of the story. It seems to simply be a set-up for the next book in the series. I've read many fantasy series, and I've rarely had the sensation that the author is just marking time until the next novel, but I get it here.

Finally! The 4th installment to the story of the Fey is in! I have loved this series from the very begining. This book is less action intensive as some of the others but it was necessary, you can see the beginings of a wrap-up. The royal family of the Blue Isle are finally united. Rusch does this artfully with more than a few surprises. Oh I can't wait for the 5th book.

Can I tell you a secret? I want the Fey to win.

Rugad the Black King has been successful in his attack on the Blue Isle, but to ensure his total domination he still has to deal with his hybrid great grandchildren, Gift, and Arianna.

Arianna in particular, it seems, may harken back to some of her female ancestors in strength, and will likely be a big problem.

This book was really great, but the problem is, is that the book is all set up for the next installment, and for those of us who are eagerly awaiting more of the story, it's a bit of a let down. If you haven't already read it, I would recommend getting it only after the 5th book comes out.

I have been faithful to these books since i read the first one. I loved it. the only reason i did NOT give this book five stars was because after reading the other books this one seemed sort of like the weak link in the chain, but it still is a good read.

This serie is getting better and better. What a twists and plotchangings. I'm really sorry for the Islanders in their struggle for survive. But I'm also intrigued by the Fey, despite their cruel warbehavior. One of the best series I've ever read.

This book cleans up the series by tying together all of the loose ends that were hanging. Some more of the mysteries are solved, and more powers discovered. I am at a loss though as to why the animosity within the Royal family. It seems like the two children, particularly Gift, being raised by the Fey, could have known of his sibling's existance... Oh well, I guess that is why I am the reader, and not the author.

this is a wonderful series with engageing charachters and a fully realized world! bring on number 5
