“He’s in love with you.” She watches my face and says all mock angry, “Do not roll your eyes at me, young lady. He is. And it isn’t some weird I-am-a-pixie-king-and-you’re-my-queen-love. It’s like Willow and Tara kind of love, like Spock and Kirk, like Jack and Kate on Lost, like Princess Leia and Han Solo or Olivia and Peter on Fringe.”
“…It doesn’t matter.”
“…Zara White, since when has love ever not mattered?” pg 36
Zara White has a lot on her plate, including fighting and rounding up evil pixies all while trying to stop the apocalypse from happening. To add to her stress, she must also figure out the complicated relationship with her ex-boyfriend [and sometimes wolf] Nick and her commitment and growing affections towards her fairy king Astley. Zara must prepare herself and others for a battle prophesized to start the ending of the world. Will her pixie status help her survive, or will her strong character and ability to “look beyond the ugly” save the world?
Endure is the fantastic conclusion to the Zara White story. The pixie-pounding action takes you to Hal and back, holding your interest on every page. Astley is truly Prince Charming in pixie clothing, and his love for Zara is captivating. Zara’s strong character and commitment to love helps her see past evil, even in the midst of battle. I absolutely loved this book, and I give it my highest rating: A+
Carrie Jones, you are amazing!
