One Blood Ruby
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Description
In this gripping follow-up to Melissa Marr's lush Seven Black Diamonds, Lily and her friends are forced to reckon with the truth of their own lineage and to protect one of their own, no matter what—or who—comes between them.
Now that Lilywhite Abernathy is the heir to the Hidden Lands, everything is about to change.
The Queen of Blood and Rage wants Lily to help broker peace with the human world, but Lily knows that harmony won't come easily. After decades of waging war on the humans, who cost the queen her firstborn daughter, the fae are struggling to accept Lily, a half-human monarch. And the humans, while no match against faery affinities, will hardly agree to the queen's détente without resistance.
Lily wants to be a fair ruler but fears having to abandon the life she's known. Now that she and Creed are more than just fellow Black Diamonds—operatives for the queen—her priorities have shifted. But her worries about assuming the throne are derailed when it becomes clear that someone—or some fae—is masterminding violent attacks to discourage peace.
Who can end the war between humans and fae?

Marr (Seven Black Diamonds, 2016) continues the story about tension among various factions of the fae and their fight against humans.This sequel absolutely requires knowledge of the first book if readers are to make any sense of it. In rapid succession, the author presents a bewildering array of variously human and magical characters--so many that it is difficult to discern a plot. Each of these characters appears to be involved in a one-true-love type of romance with another character. Protagonist Lily is in love with a musician called Creed, Alkamy loves Zephyr, Eilidh loves Torquil, and Will loves Roan. (Marr treats the last, gay romance equally although not as fully as the others.) And there's also Violet, Erik, Rhys, and Leith, the third-person perspective alternating among these different characters in turn as they ponder their emotions and occasionally act. Adding to the confusion, most of these characters speak in identical voices, with the notable exception of the Queen of Blood and Rage, who rages rather well. Each of the magical characters has some kind of affinity to water, air, earth, or fire, and the author spends large portions of the book explaining these affinities, continuing to explain them even after 200 pages have elapsed. When action finally occurs, attacks tend to happen suddenly and without warning, out of the blue. The ruby of the title finds only a single, brief reference. What a mess.

Grades 9-12 Lilywhite Abernathy returns, though now she goes by the name LilyDark, allying herself with neither Seelie nor Unseelie courts. It is up to her to make peace with the human world, now that she's the heir to the Hidden Lands of the fae, but with faeries regularly attacking humans in terrible and vengeful ways, the end to this centuries-old war will be hard won. Ex-heir Eilidh is caught between her royal parents, and the remaining Black Diamonds, a highly trained group of warriors, are always aware of their precarious place between human fame and fae power. Meanwhile, the queen and her assassin Diamonds make dark and sinister plots. Marr's writing is lush and beautiful. There are context clues littered throughout the text, but unlike the Wicked Lovely series, it's best to read this proposed trilogy from its beginning (Seven Black Diamonds, 2016). A must for faerie fans who are already hooked on Marr and her captivating worlds.HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: A new installment in a series from the ever-popular Marr? They're already lining up.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2016, American Library Association.)

Half-fae LilyDark Abernathy (Seven Black Diamonds) is "daughter of two worlds and two courts." She plans to broker peace between humans and fae by ascending the Hidden Throne, but someone of fae blood is still murdering humans. Can there be peace? Numerous viewpoints and forsaken plot threads somewhat muddy this political fantasy in which Lily learns that diplomacy--like family--is rarely tidy.(Copyright 2017 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston.
