Night End An Indigo Court Novel Yasmine Galenorn Books

The conclusion to Yasmine Galenorn's Indigo Court series was everything I had hoped, and then, not.
Five books spanning such a short time in the universe of Cicely. In the beginning, she rolls into town, after having been away for years. Taken by her strung out mother at a young age, Cicely spent the formative part of her life learning to stay alive and fight. Having only returned to her former hometown on a few occasions to visit throughout the years, she comes home this time when her aunt Heather goes missing.
From the moment her car passes the town limits, her life is changed forever. And we, as the reader, go along for the ride.
Witches, vampires, Fae Queens, and shifting Owls, this series is packed to the hilt with creatures and abilities galore.
But, there is heart. Galenorn does a wonderful job of allowing you to care for the characters, to be heartbroken and joyful along with them.

This last book, Night's End took us for one final ride where lines are crossed in the name of fighting Myst, and finding out who they can trust and who they can't. Cicely must do things that she is loathe to do, but as Queen, she has no other choice. Relationships and people are hurt, altered, torn down, and rebuilt in new ways.

There are times when things just didn't really make sense.

For instance, without giving away more than I need to, when Cicely has to find out if her friends outside of her court are potential traitors, they take a certain character into a room to explain the situation to him, before taking him on his merry way to Crawl. This room would block any potential communication with Myst.
Later, when they need to probe the other three to find out where their loyalties lie, they drug them and mind-rape them, without explaining anything. Why didn't they take them into this room and give them the lowdown as well, before offering to drug and rape them?

And then a certain character disappears at a point. We find out shortly after, that this character has run off on their own to do something (regarding a school). I'm sorry but, this was not entirely well thought out. It was simply a poor plot device in my opinion. (Also, with the town in the state it was in, why the eff were people sending their kids to school in the first place?)

And the ending...I'm happy, overall. However, I feel that it was rushed. As I was reading, and Cicely took her little trip down memory lane and figured out Myst's Achilles heel, as it were, I'm looking at how many pages I have left to read. It's getting pretty thin. Then they take the little poorly timed side-trip to the school, and still, fewer pages.
With what Cicely faced in finding the first one, hiding the second one, I felt that the search for the third one went way too fast, and easy. (purposely being vague so as not to spoil, but if you read the book, you'll know what I'm talking about.) I feel that the ending was rushed, shortened, and a little bit of unfulfilled potential.

I also can't help but feel a little cheated when a particular character changes and then dashes off, never to be seen again (except in his offspring later) (to which I'm hoping, probably pointlessly, that there will be a new series for him?), when a new creature is shown to us, sent away, and it is alluded to that there would be interaction with it in the future for the new Queen, and that Cicely has found all of these connections (her father, Grieve, and now her grandfather) and yet Rhia still takes such a back seat to the story. I know the stories center around Cicely but with Rhia becoming such an important character, it would have been nice to at least meet her father or learn something about her mothers side of the family.

But, I liked that there was that little bit at the end. That we were given a glimpse into their lives later. Though, the cousins marrying cousins?

In all, I am glad I read this series through to the end. My personal opinions and grievances aside, it isn't my book in the end, I am only an observer of this world that Yasmine has built. I'll still rank the Indigo Court series, as my favorite Galenorn series.

Night End An Indigo Court Novel Yasmine Galenorn Books Reviews

I devoured this book up in 3 days just like her other ones! I loved this magically snowy world she described in great beauty. Love the characters. Everyone is so passionate. I was very pleased with the ending
Wow. I was really torn about starting to read this book. I love the series so much that I just didn't want it to end. Ms. Galenorn made this book worth the wait and the angst that I was feeling. It was the perfect end to a fantastic series. Great job.
I liked the entire book. Some of the passages between action were a little wordy for me and didn't lend to the story as much as to further character development (which may not have been needed). There are enough trails into the future that I am looking forward to seeing where these characters travel. The journey has been good. It's time to rest. More adventures will show up as change is the only constant.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. One gets to see Cicely grow more and more into her position as queen of Winter Court. We also get to see how she travels back into her memories and finds out how to destroy her former mother and her enemy, Night Myst. Loved how her relationship with the Snow Hag developed into friendship and how she finds her grandfather. All in all, it was an engrossing story for me.
This entire series is well written and left the reader a journey which was difficult to put down. Thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend
I think I've read just about all of Ms Galenorn`s books and this has got to be the worse one that I've read. I really enjoyed the other books in this series and was looking forward to the end of the series. But the plot had so many illogical scenes where Cicely did not trust her friends but took the vampires at face value and they do did not have to prove that they were not betraying her when it was a vampire that started this whole mess. I also started to develop a dislike for the Cicely who seemed to be easily swayed and weak and the majority of her inner dialogs was about sex at totally inappropriate times.

And what was up with her relationship with Lannon, he satisfies her dark side where Grieve who is a vampiric fae could not. Again not well thought out and it just made Cecily seem even more weak and selfish.

Overall this book was hard to get through reading because it just could not hold my attention, sense the totally disappointment as the title for his review.
What to say about this? I'm quite sad that this world is ending. I doubt there will be any future revisits. (Just saying that based on the epilogue.)

Will I read this author in the future? I'm not sure. This was the only series that I enjoyed. I tried the other huge series (which is going to have its 16 book released), but I just wasn't able to get into it. I don't think I even managed to finish the first book. Maybe I'll revisit and try it again.

Is this a standalone book? No, by no means should you read this book without having read the previous books in the series. You would be completely without context, plus you'd be coming in at basically the very last part of the story. You need to know what happened in the past to truly appreciate the world building that was done.

I actually thought this book was over way too quickly. I had this huge fight scene playing in my head (way before it actually reached that) that ended up fizzling out. It just seemed to be over. I figured there would have been more to it? That's truly one of my gripes. But it wasn't enough that I didn't appreciate the story.

I would totally recommend this book (and the series) for those who enjoy urban fantasies. I wouldn't recommend to someone who has to have a HEA after every book, because that's definitely NOT what you get.
