Book Review: Faefever by Karen Marie Moning

Book Review: Faefever, book 3 of Fever series by Karen Marie Moning

Review for the first book: Darkfever www.goodreads.com/review/show/…
Review for the second book: Bloodfever www.goodreads.com/review/show/…

Note: I read the Chinese translation of this book.

The Wall between human world and the Faerie land is about to collapse, the lives of thousands of oblivious humans are at great risk; the Lord Master, the evil murderer of an innocent woman and many others, is still at large. It is up to Mac, our Super Special Innocent Snowflake Heroine, and this what's-his-name Dangerous Bad Boy Male Lead (I've long decided I'm not going to dignify this guy by remembering his name), to stop all Hell from breaking loose.

In Faefever, the stake is being raised even higher than before! So you think I'm going to at least care about the safety of the oblivious humans and whether Mac is going to make it or not? Ah, you had guessed wrongly!

Frankly, I want Mac to die, throughout reading the entire book I kept thinking "Why can't this little bitch get eaten by a monster already!?" Oh yes Mac pisses me off this badly, it has been so long since the last time I hated a fictional character with so much passion that I actually can't wait to see her dead.


I don't even bother to say things about the what's-his-name Bad Boy Male Lead, he hasn't been in the story enough for me to make any comment; and here are my problems with Mac:

(1) Well, I have to admit Mac doesn't piss me off as frequently as she had been in the first two books, but it still doesn't say much.

(2) For a supposedly toughened-up woman, Mac takes too much time dolling herself up and thinking about dresses and makeup.

(3) According to Mac, being a skilled fighter is still not as important to a young woman as being beautiful.

Give me a break, I don't think I would care about my look or any one else's if I lived in a world where evil feys are wandering around looking for humans to eat.

(4) Mac is still selfish as fuck, and she never lifts a finger to help any of the innocent human. Instead, she tricks *******************plot spoiler warning**************a cop to consume addictive fey flesh just because she thinks she needs a backup/an insurance just in case the what's-his-name Bad Boy Male Lead betrays her.*********End of spoiler******* Mac, you really are in no position to accuse anyone for being selfish or having their own hidden agendas.

(5) Mac is also Too Stupid To Live, **************************plot spoiler warning************************evil feys are killing people on the streets and many of them are pretending to be human cleaners and workers within the city, but Mac still thinks the Wall is going to be fixed and she still has one more year to solve things out?*********************end of spoiler******************** Are you kidding me?

(6) Mac is even more of a Super Special Innocent Snowflake than before, she is so very special that she is the last one of her kind and no other sidhe seer is as powerful and special as she is.

GIVE. ME. A. FUCKING. BREAK!

But sadly I know Mac is not going to die any time too soon because the author, Karen Marie Moning still needs her around to milk more money with the two sequels after Faefever.

Plus, I need to point out despite the great risk of the evil Unseelie feys invading Earth, nothing really happens in the book, or when important things happen, Mac is never around to witness it and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. This makes Faefever reads like one hell of a filter book.

After three books, we are still not getting any closer to have some answer: Who what's-his-name Bad Boy really is? Who is the Lord Master and what's his grand evil scheme? Where is this all-evil Book now and what is its real purpose? We still get no fucking answer.

I think Karen Marie Moning is wasting my time. So, thumb down.
