This is my second read by Claudy Conn. I started by reading the prequel to the Legend series and was intrigued enough to buy this book as well. I was not disappointed. I loved the world of the Seelie Fae, and their beautiful faeries. I liked being drawn into the mythical world of magick and Druid priests. The intricacy of the plot kept me interested, although at times I felt the pace moved a little slowly.I felt that this book had two heroes: Breslyn and Julian, two sides of a crazy love triangle. Breslyn is all sex and masculinity. He's very aggressive, but in a way that makes a girl want to fall at his feet in a puddle. Julian is dark and broody, and has looks to match. I liked these two men, even as different as their personalities were. The author did such a good job writing them, that I would have been happy had the heroine chose either of them!Maxie, on the other hand struck me as kind of fickle. I mean, whichever man was in the room with her at the moment was the one she wanted. She was like a salivating schoolgirl, and of course was jealous when one of the heroes paid attention to the another woman. It aggravated me how she played one against the other, and even though she knew she was being childish at times, she continued acting in the same way. After awhile though, she grew on me and I started to like her. Without giving anything away I'd definitely say that the man she chose brought out the best in her.The ending left things open for the next book in the series, which I look forward to reading very soon! I'll be interested to see what happens to the hero that was let hanging by the closing off of this triangle.
