A Fey Harvest

The Godhunter #9

by Amy Sumida

The second book in the Godhunter series split, A Fey Harvest can be read alone or in conjunction with Harvest of the Gods. A Fey Harvest is set entirely in the Faerie Realm but if you wish, you may follow Vervain from A Fey Harvest to Harvest of the Gods by switching books whenever Vervain declares that she's off to the God Realm and then switching back when she returns. This way, you may experience events as she does. Or you may read the books independently and enjoy each story separately. Just be sure to read Harvest of the Gods first. After five-hundred years, the Faerie Realm is open once more. A shaky truce has been made between the gods and the fey and hope has begun to grow for a peaceful future between all races. Vervain Lavine, Godhunter and now Faerie Queen, desperately wants the truce to work. Her life and loves in both realms depend on it but now faeries have gone missing and an unknown magic seems to be involved. Someone is harvesting the fey and it's up to Vervain to show them what a bitter and deadly fruit faeries can be.

This book can be read by itself or in conjunction with the previous book. I really thought this one was good and I enjoyed the way it was written. Vervain had to deal with a lot in this one and she was willing to so everything she could to protect her people even if it put herself in danger.

I can't wait to read more of this series.

This one too, just not enough action. Very basic plot. Maybe some fun change, but not enough to be 100% enjoyable.

Fae Harvest is a companion novel with book 8, Harvest of the Gods. I read Fae Harvest straight through, assuming this book was a continuation of the prior book-- I misunderstood the concept (my fault, as the author was clear- I simply didn't read the blurb properly) as both Harvest books are set in the same timelines and the author suggests when you see the symbol, the reader alternates between the two books because they share two separate-yet-entwined sub-plots. I am intrigued by the split book idea and plan to alternate the reading of books 10 and 11, as suggested. Fae Harvest was a good read by itself, but I didn't understand the lack of trauma from a major character's death. I think it negatively effected my reading in this book. Great story line and great writing, even with my disappointment in ignoring a protagonist's death while in the Fae realm.

Interesting time switching

I got just as confused as Vervain as to what happened when, past or future ahhh. It was quite the way to tell the story. Hard on the men left in the God realm.

A Fey harvest

Vervain is back in fairy, looking for the way to fight darkness and keep it from spreading and destroying fairy. She also must deal with crazy exes and her power. She is exactly what fairy needs though, Gods help anything that stands in her way.

amazing

[Terri West · Rating 4 out of 5]

I have enjoyed the series so far and I like the split between Fairy and God/human world. Once again there is a problem with proof reading/editing.

[Kim Pow · Rating 3 out of 5]

Still odd...

Vervain and her many men feels so odd to me! I'm onto Book 10 and I'm still not loving the idea. A pretty good series, I recommend giving it a read.

fate vs destiny

I took a star away because I despise the split book. I’d rather have a thicker/longer read than bounce back and forth.

But besides that, it’s a great book.

[Amara · Rating 4 out of 5]

Excellent story telling and characters. Love the action and the world jumping.

[Martine · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read this book at the same time as Harvest of the Gods as suggested by the Author. I was a bit apprehensive about this but I found it worked really well. I loved all the new magics of the two worlds and the coming together of all Vervains magics. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars, which it would have been until the last jump to fairie was because of the time relapse thing. I just could not get my head around this! If someone could please explain I would be very grateful! So spoiler alert - She goes back in time to fairie to kill the darkness because the darkness had started a fire right at the end of Harvest of the Gods. She goes way back in time to Fairie and just before they go in for the kill Aoife still hasn't gone to the God realm yet, and Roarke hasn't changed elements, yet in Harvest of the Gods when he brings Aoife back he has changed so how did the big fire then occur if the darkness was killed before Roarke changed and bought Aoife to the God Realm? And then they were discussing Roarkes glamour right in the last chapter, so the fire still hadn't occurred yet even though they were celebrating the end of the darkness? I spent the last half of this book very confused!

I love the dual story line with books eight and nine of this series, though I was hesitant at first. As Amy suggested, I read the books at the same time, switching from one to the other as Vervain switched realms. I love how Vervain revealed just enough of what happened in the other realm to continue the story, but the same story was not just retold in both books. I was worried that there would be a recap of sorts each time she changed realms, and that might make it seem like less of a bargain, but Amy pulled it off quite well and revealed very little of the parallel story in transition. Since the two stories are intimately intertwined, I can't give much away about the plot, other than to say that things really start making sense about why Vervain has so much power granted to her. Its pretty much a given that I will be reading more in this series and from this author.

[Jamies · Rating 5 out of 5]

Read the author's note about switching during breaks if you want to follow the story flow as Vervain does, it's quite interesting. Harder to keep track when I switch devices but still worth it. Reached out to Amy Sumida on Twitter after the shock in book 8 (she responded *skee in delight*) and still represented so I peaked ahead via by reading book 29 then 28 blurbs. Things are gonna get even more crazy for our goddess/witch/faerie.

Update June 2022 reread:
Nothing new to add really. I read book 8 and 9 in chronological order this time and it's still easy to follow the story and events. I'm tempted to hop back and forth with the next two books but I think i should see it through just reading the in chronological order.

[Lauren Ashley · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love The Godhunter series. Vervain is hilarious and I couldn't wait to read the next one every time. These books were awesome. Arach is my favorite. These were very well written.

[tracey welch · Rating 5 out of 5]

once again the author has done a fabulous job at making wonderful characters and a fantastic storyline. I would however encourage future readers to do as the authors suggestion and read both books together as it would make the stories flow more evenly. I love this series of books and do recommend them to anyone looking for a unique and witty and enjoyable read.

[Brandi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wonderful Book!

What a great read! I read books 8 and 9 together and I loved both of them. I have to admit I love the way the story has evolved. Her world is amazing and I'm impressed by the authors attention to detail in every book. I can't wait to read more of this series.

[Kira · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great book, love the series.

[Jacob · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm actually starting to enjoy the Fey world almost as an entirely different series as that of ours.

[J.L. · Rating 5 out of 5]

Five Stars

This one (or two since I went between the two) made me feel so much! It was a little odd going between the two books but it worked.

[Amanda · Rating 5 out of 5]

Still a great series!

Still missing the slide between to 2 stories but other than that it was wonderful! Can't wait to see what's coming next!
