Fragile Eternity (Wicked Lovely, #3) Fragile Eternity by Melissa Marr


My review


rating: 2 of 5 stars
I read this three-book 'urban faeries and the teenagers they love' series during finals. Enjoyable, in the way of young adult that doesn't simplify or sanitize high school. The second book, in particular, deals with the aftermath of rape in a considered, complicated way. And the whole thing has this pleasantly off-center feel so that you know this isn't a faerie tale where you fall in love with the person you should and it all works out to perfect plan.



Except, honestly? By halfway through the third book, I realized I just didn't care anymore. And not even enough to try and figure out why.
