Book Description:

Mellis, a courageous and resourceful young woman, is kidnapped from the human world and taken to the Space Between by a tribe of faeries called the Penitents. Because of guilt over an ancient sin committed by their angel ancestors against the Maker, the Penitents have cursed themselves with grotesque physical disfigurements. Mellis can help them reunite with the Maker and find their way back to redemption, but she would need to give up the life she's always known to remain in the Space Between.

As she struggles with this heart-wrenching decision, one of the Penitents, bent on revenge, commits a gruesome attack against the tribe, and they learn he has taken Satan--the Maker's greatest enemy--as his ally. All in the Space Between are facing grave danger. Will a long-awaited act of vengeance save them?

Susan Rooke builds a rich and fantastical world of angels and demons, monsters, faeries and dragons. Abounding with spirituality and humanity, this faery tale for adults has a cast of vivid characters you won't soon forget.

My Review

I was intrigued by this book from the summary. Instantly, I became confused by the world that is the Space Between as well as the dueling storylines and characters. There was not a lot of explanation regarding the set up of the Space Between or the roles of each character. Yeah, these explanations slowly emerged as the story went on but it made it hard to process everything in the beginning.

Plus, the dueling storylines that were intertwining where hard to keep straight. This is because there were these short chapters mixed in with the longer ones involving Mellis. They would flash back and forth. Which, I found hard to read like a stop and go approach. Yet, from what I do understand about the Space Between, it is an interesting world. I do have to warn you that this is not your rainbow fantasy story. It has a dark edge to it. I would call this book more of a mythical fantasy. If you like your fantasy books with a dark edge and don't mind dueling storylines, you may want to check this book out.
