I had the good fortune to stumble on S.L. Mason's fabulous trilogy while she was still working on it. The experience this series offered me as a beta reader was already awesome. This is one of the best dark fantasy series I've ever read.
If you love urban fantasy and tales of the faerie realm, then this is just the thing for you. It is action-packed, so be sure to take your reading time seriously. You're not going to want to put this down! Mason has given the traditional fae mythology an entirely new twist and she does it flawlessly, creating an eerie world that's familiar, but darkly different. I also love how Mason develops magic in the land of the fae. The attention to detail for the magic is impressive and really brought it all alive for me.
Sarah, the teenage protagonist, keeps you on your toes with her spunky comebacks and quick-witted decisions. She is a great character I really felt I could root for and the adventure is INCREDIBLE! It is a wonderful tale of determination, daring and twisted nursery rhymes. I absolutely love this dark fantasy trilogy and I adore the characters. Sarah gains depth throughout the series, where she has to find the balance between her human nature and the fae she risks becoming. She walks that knife's edge and manages not to cut herself too much.
