Among the Unseen by Jody McIsaac

A terrific end to the trilogy showing Cedar once again doggedly trying to help others. In this case, it's the Unseen- those otherworldly races such as the Merrow, the selkies, and dwarves, who are suddenly stricken with a disease and are dying. There is a long history to the reason why, accompanied by a spell set by Brighid, of all characters, and even a few scenes with everyone's favorite anti-hero, Thor and his decidedly insane father Odin. What I like about Jody McIsaac's stories is how human Cedar is, although she isn't, and how she pokes fun at the belief in these mythical characters and creatures, while still painting a story with lots of travel and action, and tension between characters. The author killed off quite a few secondary characters, I won't name which ones, before ending her trilogy, which was unsurprising, and not at all unexpected given the deadly disease. In all, I enjoyed this story as I did the previous two. ARC provided by NetGalley.
