Synopsis

The critically acclaimed fantasy series continues with "impeccable storytelling . . . reminiscent of the works of Terry Goodkind and Jacqueline Carey." —Library Journal

Within the confines of Mélusine lies the Mirador, the city's citadel of power and magic. A stronghold where Felix Harrowgate has found his place once more, his sorcery and his sanity restored. But even a wizard at the height of his powers knows well to watch his back.

Which is why Mildmay Foxe won't let Felix out of his sight. The ex-assassin and former cat burglar is Felix's half-brother, a man deeply tied to him by blood and magic. But Mildmay gets caught up in a dangerous attraction to Mehitabel Parr, professional actress and unwilling spy for the Bastion. A rival stronghold of wizards, the Bastion knows Felix is the key to destroying the Mirador. But if the Bastion dares to take on Felix, they will need to take on Mildmay, too—the brother willing to fight to the death to keep Felix—and Mélusine—safe.

Contains mature themes.

Felix annoyed me even more than usual in this book (seriously, does he have any redeeming qualities left?) but I loved Mehitabel's narration and Mildmay is still the hottest ex-assassin ever, and I think I'm glad the author didn't go the expected places with their romance. I sort of wished there had......more

I disliked this book while reading it but the ending kinda made up for it. So, okay. It's not the series where you can skip anything, and I hope the last book will be better.......more

Goodreads review by RF on December 22, 2008

Some notes on Melusine and The Virtu: I love these books. The narration takes turns going between first person PoVs of Felix and Mildmay. I should also point out that Sarah Monette is one of the best authors I've seen when it comes to putting colloquial, 'incorrect' english/grammar down on paper and......more

this series has been so dynamic and engaging, and the level of emotional catharsis is NEXT LEVEL. started off with a 3 star review for Mélusine, but these books just keep getting better and better.
