This story starts back where End of the World starts, but we get the view through Jhaer's eyes, and Unseelie leader's eyes. The day when everyone, except Jhaer, is celebrating the union of Seelie and Unseelie and the day the fey world fell apart at his feet.

We get the other side of the coin here. A thought is planted as to why the fey world crumbles and it could be the same reason the Seelie are celebrating. Jhaer, having the Earth magic, survives the collapse and decides to collect other show more fey to protect and teach them how to survive with the help of Earth born fey.

This short story creates a bigger world. We learn a tad of the courts and Danu's pick. And of exiles surviving in the world without the fey help. Jhaer has started searching for some of the Earth born fey, and finding them usually in tight spots, "saves" them. This is where we learn of the sidhe and fey enemies in the world; wizards, vampires and changlings.

I liked the Unseelie story side better. Things are not always "good" and you have to adjust with it. The writing descriptions here seemed to resinate in my mind better too. Jhaer has the dark, bad boy feel yet he is doing right by others, but to save himself too.

This series, long out of print, is one of my favorite childhood series!! The first half of the series was genius (while the second half went a bit wonky, I admit). This book, Second Sight, is one of my favorites in the series. Toni is a great character and the interaction between her and the other's is fantastic!
Denise wakes up in the hospital thinking her name is Toni Douglas and the Omegas are coming to kill her. Is it worse to be crazy or sane?
Fear sounds the same in any language. Another Wisconsin teen turns thirteen and is suddenly fluent in every language – and someone wants him dead.
