A Shiver of Light

We've waited five whole years for this next installment of the Merry Gentry series and boy it has not disappointed!
*spoilers* 
Merry is now EXTREMELY pregnant as in with TRIPLETS!!! Now really we shouldn't act surprised considering the amount of men she sleeps with on a daly basis and she is a fairy princess surrounded by wild and uncontrollable magic after all.
As always there's still enemy's lurking around every corner, those that believe Merry is too short, too round, too seelie , too unseelie, too human etc... She'll pretty much alway be not good enough, even though she's bringing back all the fae magic and helping couples have children. You would think they'd be more grateful!?!? 
Merry has two girls and a boy :) happy days. Fathers unknown as we were only expecting two and the smallest daughter exhibits Slaugh, goblin and Demi-fey genetics. She also seems to have a very strong persuasive glamour! Bespelling all her nannies. 
King Taranis is also convince he fathered the children when he raped Merry - Creep. He stalks Merry in her dreams as he has gained that ability back and try's to control her with his illusions and a love spell, obviously that doesn't sway her to his side. Merry uses her Hand of Flesh against him and after two attempts she permanently disfigured his arm, which means he can no longer be king! Bonus!  
Now all this happens because Merry seeks revenge and justice! Yes, one of her loves is killed. Now don't worry it isnt Doyle - phew! I don't know about you but if Doyle dies I don't think I could ever read another Merry Gentry novel again :( but it is sad because King Taranis orders a hit on King Sholto! Which shatters the readers heart because of the chapters of love and bonding we read before hand between him and Merry 😭.  
Now King Taranis has to stay at the Seelie court but is no longer king. Aisling returns and the Seelie court sang with joy at his return, King Aisling of the Seelie Court! 
We finally learn the fathers of the children  
Alastair - Doyle and Frost
Gwenwyfer - Rhys, Galan and Mistral.
Bryluen - Sholto, Kitto and Royle! 
Now the next book will be full of toddler tantrums! Gwenwyfer will start a tropical storm, Bryluen will bespell the household to get her way and Alistair will shapeshift into a snow puppy!
I give this book 4*Stars!!!
