In End of the World, we are first introduced to Lugh, the Champion of the Sidhe for the Seelie court. The Seelie are the light fey--think elven. They are the purebloods and of higher status than the Unseelie-- dark or "lesser fey."The Seelie and the Unseelie courts are about to put their differences aside and unite their people and their lands. During the ceremony Jhaer, Lugh's nemesis and the head of the Unseelie Elite, crosses into Seelie territory. Lugh believes he poses a treat and attacks. They soon realize that something else is amidst once the ground starts to shake and the Mounds--the realm where the Fey call their home--begins collapsing. Jhaer struggles to hold onto the Mounds' energy to let all of the Fey escape while Lugh rushes to the castle. He can sense that something is very, very wrong. Once he gets there he discovers that a murder has occurred that could start a war between the Seelie and Unseelie.The Sidhe is a series of short novellas; each spanning only a few chapters but the stories themselves are interesting and the cliffhanger is definitely suspenseful enough to make you want to read the next book. I particularly appreciated the format of the series. It felt almost like watching a TV show. All of the books in the Champion of the Sidhe series are told from Lugh's point of view.Lugh sort of feels like the "golden boy" to me; like he can do no wrong and strives to always make the right decision. It will be interesting to see if he continues down the path towards good or if his determination will lead him down a different path completely.A great introduction into this series and I'm looking forward to reading Champion of the Fey.
