3.5 stars- I liked it

After bidding their time for ages, the faeries have taken control of our world.

Fey and mortals may not be good neighbors after all.

Rue's world is fragmenting. The fey have taken over her city and pushing the humans aside. Her grandfather is gone. Her faeries Mother is triumphant. Her human father is despondent. And her boyfriend? He would rather be eaten alive by mergirls than be with Rue.

Tensions between the humans and the faeries is growing, and Rue feels pulled in both directions. In some ways, she feels like her place is in the human world- with her friends, her father, and the humans who want to protect themselves. But then there's her fey half-her beautiful, dangerous mother, the faerie realm, and her kinship with the natural world. Can Rue fix the rift between the fey and the humans? Or does she have the courage to continue her grandfather's interrupted plan?

In the third and final volume of The Good Neighbors, Eisner Award nominees Holly Black and Ted Naifeh weave a masterful concoction of fantasy and the unexpected (quoted from the book's inside jacket).

If you're a fan of The Good Neighbors series, than you'll be pleasantly surprised with the unexpected twists that Holly and Ted throw into Kind. I enjoyed the unexpected in this series and the ending was just that. Holly and Ted put a unique spin on the faerie world, deliver answers you may have had in the other two books, and finish the series with an ending fit for the series. If you're a fan of Holly's faeries, I recommend picking this book up.

  2. I've never heard of this series but now that I've read this, I gotta add it to my TBR list! Dang, just as I was lightening the load... ;) I also wanted to pass on an award (I think they're kinda silly, & def. time consuming, but I do believe it's a nice way to say "Hey, I like your work" :) & also for others who might not be followers of those you pass the award onto to gain exposure to your friends & faves. That's why I'm sending it your way!
