Where to start, where to start. I'm as giddy as a school girl about this series, and that's not me. I'm not a book club fanatic, I like my quiet time to sit and read and maybe go to sleep.
This book for me was like finding my one true love, in book form, from the first few chapters in on the very first read. I knew this was the one. I saw the world, I felt the characters in a way that literally transported me, and I started wondering about my own reality on how well placed S. Archer and Ravynheart's description of human/fey history and how other magical creatures could mingle among us. It seemed possible:)No matter what foreign experience they are going through somehow you completely understand and can relate it to a human condition, feeling or sickness. Basically you get deeply connected to each character. Not one came off flat or not real, each had their own identity that has such depth and unique from the rest it made the leap into their world as soft as velvet.
I find myself using terms from the characters in my every day life; when I get tired I feel the Fade coming on, when I get a new story of the series to read it's like getting the Touch and nothing else will quell it. It's addicting which makes you so more aligned with the poor humans in the series.
It's a must read for anyone fantasy or not! I think it is utter genius that the authors have broken it up in series form so as the reader you have choices(I love choices. Don't pin me down) and if you only want to read one that interests you, you can and it isn't confusing or hard to follow. Yet as a series, read in order, it is amazing that you have this great timeline and simultaneous events that flow together. That's ingenious that you can enjoy it either way and still have a great read.
I could go on and on like any lover but I'm not a writer and I couldn't do it enough justice anyway. I am sad for the day I cannot continue on with their story and like all good things must come to an end. Where will I get my fix?

In Whom You Trust: This prequel explains the curse of the Touch by the Sidhe, and gives a closer look at Lugh – the good and the bad. We get to see the All-Mother, Danu, and who Aiofe is and the theory behind why she is gone.
End of the World: Lugh stands his guard as Champion when Jhaer attacks. Something goes wrong…and the All-Mother is in danger.
Aftershock: This starts where End of the World starts, but through the eyes of Jhaer, why he attacks and his thoughts of the fall of the Mounds happening. Jhaer is introduced to more of the outside world sooner, that might help him save his life.
Cursed: London is called to a meeting with a vampire associate and friend, Selena, and a new client. A client that is different from any supernatural London has ever dealt with, and claims her in a way London doesn’t understand.
Champion of the Fey: Lugh has found a way to save the Sidhe and fey with the protection of the Mounds gone. Through special artifacts. Lugh goes after the first of his collection, which isn’t as easy as he had thought and he’s suffering from the efforts expelled in doing so.
Addicted: London is suffering from her addiction. She will do anything to stop the fending she is feeling. In this dire need, things will be done without thinking of the consequences and who she is affecting.
Scars of Silver: The homeless runaway, Malcolm, is curious of his kind and wants to know more about them. Being innocent to the world, will find himself regretting leaving home and getting trusting the wrong kind.
Defender of Magic: Lugh remembers of the past love, Rhiannon, as he nears the temple of the All-Mother and senses trouble. The Fade is setting in Lugh, and he works to find his artifacts to safe all. Lugh has friends, Willem a scribe and Jonathan a dragon-shifter!
Eyes of Magic: Malcolm is frantic when he wakes. He doesn’t know those around him and only trusts one, Donovan. We see all the Earthborn Sidhe and their powers as they react with each other. Malcolm has adjusting to do. Donovan is amazing with the broken kid.
The fall of the Mounds and the beginning of the fey’s journey on land. The first half of the three series; Touch, Champion of the Sidhe, and Rise of the Unseelie, in the reading order preferred of the three intertwining series. The world grows with world building through characters knowledge and history, and what they are doing.
We get the flipping sides from each character to know what is going on as the stories progress and intercept. Don’t worry about getting different views on intertwined stories. Each point of view is different and different scenes to enhance the stories. There is no repeating that slows the reading. All is needed and answers questions you may have had in another story.
Powers surface from all sides, good and bad. And they may not be used in the way we all thought they would. Fights are growing as the characters move along, struggling to get through tough times.

Holy crumb. This is my second time reading through this series (I read the serialized installments as they came out originally) and SO MUCH HAPPENS here. SO MUCH! Heartache, death, pain, torture, mourning... Okay, all that makes it sound like it's all angst and betrayal but it's GRIPPING angst and betrayal. You get to see a people on the verge of being destroyed by something they have no control over as the reality of Danu's death forces them to wither and fade away. The unscrupulousness of lesser fey who feed off the ignorance of the young and weak is revealed with what happens to my very favorite character. *sniffle* A human who is cursed to crave the touch of a fey is driven to greater and greater lengths to fulfill her addiction. It's like this giant cornucopia of Sidhe delights and I'm rolling around in the middle of it!
Who's my favorite, guys? Is that what you're asking? I'LL TELL YOU! Malcolm! MALCOLM'S MY FAVORITE! The kid is screwed up. His family didn't teach him a thing about his heritage and he knows NOTHING about the fey when he ventures out on his own. And where does this lead him? To a nightmarish existence that scars him physically and emotionally until he can hardly tell which way is up. OMG! I LOVE THIS KID LIKE YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE!
Now, this isn't all the Malcolm story. Donovan has his hands full finding and training the earthborn Sidhe while building a sanctuary against those that would use them. Lugh learns some startling truths about people he trusted while struggling to find a way to rebuild the Mounds and save the fey. And London... London caught the short end of the stick when she was shoved kicking and orgasming into the fey world. It's a Touch thing. You'll understand once you read it.
The world is big, the obstacles are almost insurmountable, and the task of saving all these bits and pieces just keep getting more tangled. Bring it, Sidhe! I'm ready. And get Malcolm a cookie while you're at it. Poor kid.

I was gifted this book in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed the characters that were apart of the book. There are many and the book changes back and forth as you see the complete story unfolding and where everyone fits into the whole scheme. Excitement, lost love, learning who they are and the kind of magic they have. All in all well written and fun as well. Cant wait to check out the next book of the series especially after the way this book ends.

Best series I've ever read. Recommend it to anyone who loves urban fantasy with something new. Can't get enough of this world. Can't say more. Just read a page or two. I dare you.
Start from the beginning if you can. It works either way.

This review is a mixture of past reviews and then my current one:
End of the World
"End of the World" included the prequel In Whom You Trust. Lugh and the Seelie king Manannan are trying to unify the Sidhe in one court, presided by Danu. Lugh finds Mannanan's sister-in-law Kaitlin and the two find a druid named Riley. Riley says he can help them find an imprisoned friend. Unfortunately he was Touched by Mannanan to distract Kaitlin and to convince Lugh to help the Seelie even more.
Everything was written smoothly. What REALLY irritated me was the use of the word "Luv." LUV? REALLY? Apparently Archer thinks the fey would say "luv" like teenagers in the U.S. do, and not "love" like is proper.
(And now my review becomes more of a synopsis):
All of that leads into End of the World, where the Unseelie reluctantly have agreed to merge as one court. Jhaer, an Unseelie, disagrees with the court's decision and faces Lugh. Lugh truly believes in the unification, and is confused as to the consequences:
the grounds rumble.
The Mounds shake.
Jhaer's adament "Light and dark can not merge. One will always consume the other."
The Mounds are destroyed and Danu begins to Fade as fey are wont to do.
Luge is horrified that he, as a Champion of the Sidhe, is unable to save his people. But he learns of artifacts imprinted with the first realm's magic that Danu used to develop the Mounds. Now he must find them.
Aftershock
Jhaer is the leader of the Unseelie, which are beginning to allow the Seelie to take over as one court. The fey Mounds are destroyed, but Jhaer uses Earth magic (ley lines) to survive and goes to Earth's surface. He becomes Donovan and plans on finding and uniting all lost Sidhe (and other fey). He does seem to be focusing mainly on the Unseelie side of things though.
I've read Laurell K. Hamilton's Merry Gentry series and noticed some differences (Archer's fey all have pointed ears, for instance) but I like that most of the mythology is there.
The story of the destruction of the Mounds and how "Donovan" attempts to find other sidhe is a good concept. However, there is a lot of missing information. The story is fast-paced but not in a good way. I kept feeling like so much more material could have been added to flesh out the plot a little more.
Cursed
London is a human who's friends with Selena, a vampire, and other paranormals such as weres, demons and wizards. Rico is a new contact who's not happy that London "introduced" a fey to wizards. Unfortunately for her, Rico is a Sidhe and Touches London, making her crave the magic of the fey.
Things to very wrong when London tries to save the fey she almost got killed. Events go fast and are a bit odd, yet I feel like it was written better than the other novellettes I've read from Archer and Ravynheart.
The different supernatural beings is annoying. Aside from the various fey, there are vampires, shifters (werewolves), goblins, wizards, demons, and others. The large cast of characters in each short story makes everything difficult to keep track of. This collection helps, as it weaves a lot of the Sidhe Collection stories in a cohesive and chronological timeline.
Still, there is a lot.
Through the stories...
Lugh works on finding a way to get the Mounds back through artifacts misplaced and hidden away. In doing so, he finds some very awful truths in the world. And yet his main concern is the survival of the fey--not just the Sidhe, but all the fey.
Jhaer/Donovan actually grows on me a lot.
London works out her addiction to the Touch. Or really, enhances it by becoming a human Junkie and then a hunter.
Malcolm is a Sidhe, who didn’t realize what he was until recently. His story is devastating and sickening. It bothers me a lot the details of his rapes and sex slavery. It’s one of the big reasons for the lower rating. Just the amount of sex in general too.
Jonathan is a dragon. The logistics of that confused me quite a bit.
I became more inteigued as the episodes continued though.

I always love to read books about the Seelie and Unseelie courts. The authors did a good job with characters and places. No spoilers here, must read for yourself.

A Great Urban Fantasy
This book has interesting characters that as the series progress (I've read all the subsequent books) show character development. My favorite characters in this series is Malcolm, Donovan, and Lugh. The characters all have their own faults and virtues. I especially like the interactions between these three characters. In the books they consider each other as enemies but, in the end, they find that their goals are the same. Another character that I wish we could have had better fleshed out was Mannan, the Seelie King. He made an interesting villain in the series and I'd like to see how he fully grew into the villain he became. Especially due to the duties that the Sidhe take seriously, which is the need to protect the Fae. The authors constructed their own mythos within Celtic Mythology that they have left themselves much room within which to create more stories in this world.
This series would be good for fans who love reading stories that deal with the fae in general (Elves, Sidhe, etc). But for those readers who like vampires and werewolves, they are in the stories as well to a large extent. There are cameos from other races (worlds) as well. Two name a couple would be Dragons and Norse Mythological beings.

3.5 stars
This book is my first from these authors and it will surely not be the last.
The story develops super fast, the world building is typical UF without being cliché. The characters are cool and nicely depicted, some of them are more "traditional", but others are brand new, which is not an easy thing to do (create a new character) is stream of literature as packed of good books as UF.
I found cool that the authors match the storytelling with the different behaviors of the characters, so the change in POV flows naturally.
The story is a traditional UF, with a touch of dark. Do not be fooled by the cover (as I was): this is NOT a YA book.

This story met all my expectatons for a series on Faeries.
It has intrigue, plus a bit of romance and lots of action.
I got captivated right from the start and I can't wait to
read what happens next.
The way the authors describe the Fae world in Ireland and
England was so believable, plus the characters were very interesting.
When you are introduced to Lugh - Seelie Court and Donovan - Unseelie Court, you
can see that even though they are enemies they have the best interests of the
Sidhe at heart and their survival.
The only thing I would mention is that the story is complex and does jump around a lot
so you really have to concentrate when you are reading it.
Well Done.

Scattered Magic is collection 1 of the The Sidhe series by S.A. Archer.
This is the first book from this author that I've read. I enjoyed reading it. The characters were interesting and well thought out. The story was fresh and well written. I liked the diversity of the characters. It has fey, vampires, changelings, wizards and more. The setting is set in Ireland. It's vividly described mixed with a wonderfully, exciting, magically built world of the fey. I enjoyed reading this book and look forward to reading more from this author.
***Gifted ARC copy***

I received this book from a Goodreads Giveaway for my honest review.
I really wanted to like this book. It had the potential to be great, but it just didn't work for me. There were way too many points of view. Everytime I got interested in the story, the author would switch points of view and leave me wanting.

January 24, 2015
So I will say I was not a huge fan of the multi point of view style that this book followed. I found it slightly difficult to follow the time line at some points and at other times I just found myself skimming for the difference in views when it replayed a scene. At the same time I did find myself drawn into the story line and looking forward to the next part of the collection.

Great Story!!
When I began reading this story, it seemed to jump all over the place and it was difficult to separate the characters, but within a half dozen chapters, it leveled out and started coming together, I am looking forward to reading more in this series!!!

Love the story but hate the short overlapping and out-of-sequences chapters. I still give it 4 stars despite the annoyance.

May 31, 2016This might be a good book to some but I just found myself several chapters in still feeling confused as to what was happening and not really feeling interested enough to figure it out.

I loved this book, and I am loving the series as well. The stories move very well, you get hooked and can't put the book down.
