skygiants: Princess Tutu, facing darkness with a green light in the distance (a la folie pas du tout)
I am kind of just laughing about the Amazon reviews of The Demon's Surrender that complaining about not getting a Ryves brother POV, because man, I was ALL ABOUT Sin's POV in the final book. Sin is awesome! Also I think it's cool that Sin has very justifiably different concerns from all of the previous narrators, and trusts completely different people, so whatever, Amazon reviewers.

It's always hard to write about the third book in a trilogy without spoilers (especially when you read it almost two months ago, I AM SO BEHIND on booklogging), so just to recap: the series takes place in a world where evil magicians control demons who can possess people, and follows a pair of brothers with a DARK SECRET that is spoilery for the first book, a brother-sister pair with a few other secrets and goals that are spoilery for the second book, and an ambitious dancer at the magical market, who is Sin and the POV character for the third book and continues to do many things that are spoilery. They are excellent on dark worldbuilding, interesting character motivation, and family-centric storytelling, and although I am not a fan of all the narrative/plot choices they overall make for extremely enjoyable reads.

And now I can go into the personal-reaction spoilers! )
