Resumen del Editor

After escaping with Elizabeth to the human realm, Coal is accused of kidnapping and spends six months in a juvenile detention center. When he gets released he is determined to find his way back to the fey realm. On his quest to return home, he learns the heartbreaking truth: nothing he was told about his past is true, and everything he thought about himself is completely wrong. But in order to discover the truth, he'll have to make a deal with a government agent hell-bent on prosecuting Chalcedony for abducting Elizabeth. A deal that could set off a war between the worlds.

I feel tricked

I bought all this author books and started with the everleaf series only to find it was not what the summary and cover led me to believe. These are not black elfs like the cover protrays(literal black face). Chalcedony is irredeemable and unlikeable character and she doesn't deserve coal. The writing is good and the story is okay, but I feel tricked having bought the series. So now i have to finish,so i won't feel i wasted my money.

Love the series! Can't wait for Jade!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

First I have to say, I'm in love with this cover! The red eyes, the dark skin, the colors! I really like this theme for this series of books. It matches it perfectly and really sets the tone!

Okay so it had been months since I read Coal so I was super excited to get my hands on this book! Chalcedony picks up where Coal left off but this time we see more of the sometimes villain, sometimes heroine Chalcedony.

I think what I liked about this book was how it wove in elements from the other books in the series, such as Black Beauty(which was my favorite of the 3 btw)with the kids(who are adults now).

My loves:
Bug Boy! Bug Boy was always my favorite in the first book so I was ecstatic to see him make an appearance in this book.

COAL! Coal in this book made me so much more curious. Things just gotreal interesting with Coal's storyline. I was always on the edge of my seat when Coal was introduced. I liked how this one threw Coal in a contemporary setting since I'm a huge contemporary nut, I loved seeing Coal in a high school setting! And his home girl Zora! I loved how ratchet she appeared in my head. I totally saw myself in her with her crazy make up and hairstyles. AN dI just love names that begin with the letter Z, random I know! I probably would have died if he hooked up with her because she was such an amazing side character to me. I shipped them so hard.

I don't think there was anything I truly disliked about Chalcedony but sometimes when Haline took stage, I was a bit bored with her parts. And I hated how for every 2-3 chapters with Chalcedony and Haline, Coal only got like 1. I wanted so bad to learn more about Coal. I know this one was supposed to center more on Chalcedony but Chalcedony is definitely one of those characters you either love or hate, I think I'm switzerland. I don't hate her but sometimes I wonder her reasons fro doing things and I can't figure her out. I want so bad to get her, but she sort of has this, I'm the queen, I can do whatever I want attitude. It frustrates the hell outta me.''

Overall though, I can't wait to read the third book in the series, Jade. Jade was always my favorite and I can't wait for her to make her grand entrance!
