As summer turns its thoughts to fall and winter, Faerie is busy with preparations for what promises to be a harsh winter. When a mysterious mist begins to creep over the land, taking children as it goes, Cindy is forced to leave her friends and families behind, to confront whatever sort of sorcery this must be.
No one is immune to the call of the Siren, even the Dark Lord.
Cindy will have to fight for her family and her land. But, at what cost?
"How (Not) to Soothe a Siren" by Elizabeth A. Reeves is the latest novel in the Cindy Eller series. The story starts out where the previous novel left off. Cindy and Timothy are now parents to a new born. There is a brief adjustment period for them before a new crisis catches their attention in the form of a waking dream. With no choice other than to investigate, they head off into the unknown with only the will of Faerie to guide them. Well, at least until they meet the Huntsman. Overall, I enjoyed this novel a lot more than some of the more recent ones. It had a good blend of Cindy's introspective monologue with plot points that kept the story moving forward.
I have loved all the Cindy Eller books, this one is another fabulous quick read for a quiet day at home. Despite several typos, this story keeps you going and adds new characters to the growing cast of Farie. Looking forward to our next "bundle of joy" in the series.
I am a little disappointed that a few big moments were glazed over but for the most part I really liked this book. I can't believe the series is nearly over.
