Unregulated Upheaval by Erin R. FlynnMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Aftermath
This is the 12th book in a continuing series that definitely requires reading the previous books to understand. There is a cliffhanger.
In the aftermath of the fairies return being revealed, there are many decisions for Tamsin to make. Tamsin has to decide how to make progress in bringing the two factions of fairies together to stop the constant wars. She needs to handle the elders and ancient ‘advisors’ in a way that won’t tear her society apart. She also has a huge list of evil people that she can now legally deal with as the Light Fairy Heir.
Still not at 100% after getting her wings, Tamsin has to accept protections she never would normally and she is learning to let go of some of the tight grips of control on everything she has always maintained. She has too much to do and finally has people to help if she lets them.
As always, Tamsin’s love life is a mixture of good and bad. Some of her men are wonderful, some, not so much. It seems the constant pressure of being Tamsin’s lover/mate is not conducive to happiness.
This book was a great leap forward in the plot as lots of strands of storyline from previous books came together as the fairies returned. The consequences of the actions taken by the supernatural elites are finally revealed and most are stunned that they are finally being called to task.
I liked that in this book we get to see more of the way fairies lived inside fairy. Tamsin gets taken on a tour and we have a lot of ordinary life explained to us via Tamsin. It’s great world-building and I enjoyed it a lot. We also got to see that bringing together the two factions might be easier for those who didn’t hold a lot of power under the old system.
As always there are massive highs and lows in Tamsin’s emotional state. She gets support from unexpected quarters and she gets none from some that she relies on. Even Neldor seems to be acting supportive, despite her suspicions of him when he’s being nice. However, I wouldn’t be Queen of Fairy if you paid me!
