Week 17 Review: Kingdom of Shadow and Light

From Goodreads:

MacKayla Lane faces the ultimate threat when war breaks out between the kingdoms of shadow and light, as the #1 New York Times bestselling Fever series races to an explosive revelation.

From the moment MacKayla Lane arrived in Dublin to hunt her sister's murderer, she's had to fight one dangerous battle after the next: to survive, to secure power, to keep her city safe, to protect the people she loves.

The matter of who's good and who's evil can be decided by the answer to a single question: Whose side are you on?

Now, as High Queen of the Fae, Mac faces her greatest challenge yet: ruling the very race she was born to hunt and kill--a race that wants her dead yesterday, so they can put a pure-blooded Fae queen on the throne.

But challenges with her subjects are the least of her concerns when an ancient, deadly foe resurfaces, changing not only the rules of the game but the very game itself, initiating a catastrophic sequence of events that have devastating consequences and leave Mac questioning everything she's ever learned and everyone she's ever loved. Now begins an an epic battle between Mortal and Fae, Seelie and Unseelie, would-be kings and would-be queens, with possession of the Unseelie King's virtually unlimited power and the fate of humanity at stake.

From the exquisite, deadly gardens of the High Queen's court, to long-forgotten truths found in the Sacred Grove of Creation, from the erotic bed of her enigmatic, powerful lover to the darkest, seductive reaches of the Unseelie kingdom, Mac's final journey takes her places no human has been before, and only one human could possibly survive . . .

One who's willing to sacrifice everything.

My Review:
Oh man, this was such a fantastic read! I've loved this series from the beginning, I love this world, and I love reading Mac's story! It was great to focus back on her again, though we did follow in other perspectives as well! 

Mac being Queen does pose some difficulties, given that she was born to kill fae, not rule them. So that was an interesting situation to be in. And of course enemies raised their heads, and she had to deal with everything that was going on!

We did get introduced to a few new characters, like Lyryka, who was just a joy to read about. And we also followed existing plot lines, like Christian, and Kat, and I enjoyed watching all these stories play out! And oh, how it wraps up was so excellent to read! 

One thing that I loved was the extended epilogues. I can never get enough of a book, I always want more, and we definitely got that in this boo (though there are a few characters that I would've loved to have more of. We even got some of the former Seelie Queen, and former Unseelie King, and their happy ending, so that was great! 

This was an amazing read, and I can't wait to see what Karen Marie Moning writes next!
