Augustine Robelais is adjusting to his new role as
Guardian of the city while Harlow Goodwin is learning to
cope with being part of the fae world. Unfortunately, not
everyone is happy with the new Guardian and now a
kidnapping has occurred- and it's up to Augustine to
resolve the situation. How will Harlow handle the
continued family revelations, particularly with her
father being the main suspect in the kidnapping?
CITY OF ETERNAL NIGHT is the second book in Kristen
Painter's Crescent City series and one that I'm
now definitely hooked on! CITY OF ETERNAL NIGHT is best
appreciated in the context of the series as a whole as
the storylines intertwine even as Kristen Painter further
develops the world and her characters.
I'd liked the first book of the series, House of the
Rising Sun, despite not being wild over either main
character. However, in CITY OF ETERNAL NIGHT, Augustine
has definitely matured and won me over. He's taking his
role as Guardian of the city seriously as we are
beginning to see the integrity and love that won over
Olivia Goodwin.
Harlow, on the other hand, is still a bit difficult for
me to fully like. She's beginning to accept her fae
heritage more but she makes some decisions in CITY OF
ETERNAL NIGHT that infuriate me even now. I can't wait
to see how Kristen Painter resolves some of the issues in
the third book in the series!
CITY OF ETERNAL NIGHT is a phenomenal second book in a
series urban fantasy lovers will enjoy. Kristen Painter
continues to put a unique spin on the world of the fae as
the new revelations in CITY OF ETERNAL NIGHT deepen the
intrigue even further. Kristen Painter is a master at
crafting a richly detailed supernatural world that only
gets better with each new installment. CITY OF ETERNAL
NIGHT is easily recommended!
Mardi Gras approaches, bringing with it hordes of tourists
eager to see the real-life Faery Queen holding court atop
her festival float. When the Queen is kidnapped, it's up
to Augustine, the fae-blooded Guardian of the city, to
rescue her before time runs out.
But Augustine's mystifying protégée, Harlow, complicates
the task by unintentionally aiding the forces of evil,
drawing danger closer with each step. The Queen might not
be the first to die...
