Victory: The Final Book of the Fey

Rating:
Summary: I love this series!
Review: These books just get better and better. The fourth and fifth books are especially good. The story is fascinating: I love the discovering of the true nature of Blue Isle's religion. The characters are not perfect people, which makes them all the more intriguing; Coulter is definitely my favourite character! Altogether: WONDERFUL!

Summary: Great Series
Review: This is a simply great book, in a great series. "Victory" is of a more epic scale than the first four books, and is a fitting end to this cycle as well as a beginning to the next. The book was violent, but as in the real world, people die in wars in books. Actually there were more characters alive at the end than I had expected. Besides that,I that the only thing that has disappointed me at all about "The Books of the Fey" is the lack of a map of the Blue Isle.

Summary: A fitting end to an amazing series.
Review: With "Victory", K. Rusch ends the remarkable "Fey" series. Her characters are fully realized and the plot intricate. This is not your typical "good-guys-travel-all-over-and-then-kill-the-bad-guy" type of story. The "good guys" aren't always so good, the "bad guys" not always so bad. Characters grow and change in this story of the attempted conquest of Blue Isle by The Fey, a vicious race of fighters that include enchanters, visionaries, shape-changers, Dopplegangers, beast-riders and more. The peaceful,"non-magical" Islanders begin to discover things about themselves as they try to defend against the invaders. Readers with delicate sensibilities should be warned: This is an extremely violent story. That said, it's one that should not be missed. There are a few series that earn the right to stay on our shelves and be reread: Bradley's "Mists of Avalon", Goodkind's "Sword of Truth", Williams' "Memory, Sword, and Thorn", and the "Daughter of the Empire" series by Feist and Wurtz. "The Fey" now joins those. I envy those who haven't yet started this series. You have an incredible journey ahead of you.
