Breath and Bone

This concluding volume of the Lighthouse Duet was much better than the first, Flesh and Spirit. I think it's because the first book was a lot of setup while this book was mostly action. The plot moved along pretty rapidly, with the main character bouncing in and out of the fae realm. I'm much more impressed with the author, particularly her imagination. It wasn't a traditional tale of faeries and the situations in which the characters found themselves was very different from many of the books I've read recently. I now see why this duology won the 2009 Mythopoeic Award. It's creative, exciting, and very complex.
