The Half Light city is divided. Fae and human mages on one side, vampire Blood Lords and shape-shifting Beast Kind on the other. Between these supernatural forces stands a peace treaty that threatens to shatter at the slightest provocation. Saskia is a metal mage and her parents raised her to do the right thing. To her family that means staying safe behind the walls of human society, to continue her work as a respectable metal mage, never putting herself at risk. But as tension rises in the city Saskia must do what she can to protect the treaty.

There is something about this Half Light City series. Each book I pick up I begin with doubts and by 50 pages in I'm hooked. I love that each book also keeps within a story arc. They continue what is happening in the city focusing on new characters.

I really liked Saskia and Fen. I did find I liked Fen better than Saskia (even though he was an idiot). I don't know, Saskia was great for her strength but it annoyed me how her opinion of Fen seemed to change so swiftly.

I did feel a bit annoyed about how swiftly the book ended. I feel there needed to be another coulple of chapters to resolve it properly but it just didn't happen. I don't know. It didn't feel too rushed or anything, it just ended a bit abruptly. I need to invest in the final book at least.
