This is my second novel by Mercedes Keyes and I am even more impressed by it than the first. In Keyes we finally have an IR writer who can take us on an adventure through time, history and love. The Fancy series is a PERFECT example of OUR historical romance; well researched, beautifully told, complex characters, spiritual truths, adventurous and oh yes, hot sex. Within these books you will find stories within stories and yet the author knows precisely how to take us on a brief detour with enough detail that you become interested in the life of these side characters and fully satisfied with their story, even if it's only a few paragraphs long. Unlike other writers who attempt to juggle multiple characters and voices, Keyes has the skill for it. She has a gift of weaving stories together and never tanking away from the main storyline or lead characters. Overall I find these books to be excellent. They capture me in their uniqueness and wet my appetite for more.
