Summary

The good news? There’s a way out of Fairie. The bad news? It’s through the heart of the Unseelie Court of Winter.

And that’s not all. Maeve, Winter’s ruler, has been stealing human kids for her own twisted delights. Not only do we have to find a way to sneak into her lands, but also we’ve got to break in, rescue the stolen children and get them out again without her knowing. Or...we go to war with the entire nightmarish Unseelie Court.

I’m not so much running on empty as trying to push myself forward with the handbrake on. The odds of survival seem minimal. But who wants to live forever? 800 years is good innings by anyone's standards.

I can't leave the kids behind to suffer her sadistic indulgences. We’ve got to get them out - or die trying.

imPerfect Bones is the fourth book in The imPerfect Cathar series, a darkly funny supernatural suspense mystery spanning Fairie and the south of France. Contains strong language and graphic violence.

Winter, No wonderland

Imperfect Bones : by C. N. Rowan.

The good news? There’s a way out of Fairie. The bad news? It’s through the heart of the Unseelie Court of Winter.

Imperfect Bones is book four of The Imperfect Cathar series and I can safely say this series is shaping up to be one of my all time favorites.
The story picks up all most immediately after the horrific events of the last book (no spoilers, but it's safe to say Paul has added to his already trauma filled life) In the Wildlands of Faerie he has been reunited with Aicha his friend and Druze Queen, they continue their hunt for Paul's nemesis Simon De Montford that and the rescue of a group of traumatised children from the clutches of the Winter Court.
The central theme of these books is trauma and how to deal with said trauma and to not only keep moving forwards, but to do the right thing and despite being a smart arse and totally irreverent Paul with the help of a small core of friends always does what he believes to be right thing. The trauma, pain, suffering and death is offset by some truly witty humour that makes you laugh out loud and at one point had me snort my tea everywhere and lots of on point social commentary and pop culture references.
The plot is far reaching, multi layered and clever, the writing style is quick both with prose and wit. Being well acquainted and very invested with the characters now is a double edged sword and as with this series there are moments of great pathos and absolute heartbreaking loss.
As always we bounce back and fourth between time periods (this time the 70's, yes it made me feel old to get the references) and yet the pace never once suffers for it. The action is always fast and furious, but in this book it was truly that and one set piece in particular had me literally glued to the spot. The cruelty and desolation of the winter Court seeps off the page and into your bones and the Unseelie are described in terrifying detail. As always the audio book is an absolute treat and the narrator/author does a tremendous job at getting across how much his characters mean to him.
You will have needed to have read the previous books to enjoy this and I can honestly say I highly recommend this series. Easily another five stars.
