Fairy and Impartial picks up right after the events of book 3, His Fairy Share.
So first thing right off? Read all previous stories if you havenāt done so already. In the exact order they are written so all the characters relationships, growth, and overall developing series themes make sense.
Trust me, there are some wonderfully complicated doings happening here and I suspect only Auric, that manipulative bastard, has a clue about most of them.
This is a densely packed series, epic themes of world salvation, good versus evil, line up closely along with those of forever love and found family.
Honestly, I treasure this series and love this new story. It adds onto the growing mysteries of conspiracy against Auric and his politics and family as well as introduces us to incredible new main characters that will have important roles to play , not only here but in the upcoming stories. This is one wicked, well told epic!
Twig and Quinnās relationship continueās to deepen and thrive here as they face new battles and explore new dimensions to their powers and roles. Really, each is so amazing because they have such depth of character and yet still are showing such capacity for growth.
Actually that applies to all the beings here who are undergoing so many spurts of development simply because of the demanding times and villainous challenges they are facing. Zak , Quinnās younger brother, has to learn accept certain things about his pursuit of love without asking if itās wanted, Bill , all patchwork soul, needs to adjust to heartbreak for the first time and find his way forward, and well, there are othersā¦.
I donāt know how many books Maslow has planned for this series, personally Iād be thrilled if they just kept coming because this universe is so rich and diverse that it easily could host series after series even based on the different realms.
But this expanding found family or should I say clan? It has found its way into my heart. Now I want Twig to add a couple more⦠and I need to know more. I have questions, need answers! And always want more of each and every one of these fabulous beings.
You will too. But you absolutely need to read these stories in the order they are written to appreciate the characters, understand the relationships, the growth and , frankly, the series arc.
Itās fantastic and Iām highly recommending this and all of them.

Synopsis:
All Twig Starfig wants is to settle into mated life with his wizard and be a good leader to his clan. No drama. No heartache. A happily-ever-after fit for a dragon. Or half-dragon, at any rate.
Instead, Twig and Quinn get roped into a new case involving missing orc stones. Yes, those really are a thing. Twigās dad is on the PR warpath . . . again. Quinn’s little brother can’t seem to stop pining over their housemate. Someoneāor somethingāseems to be following them. And getting quality time alone with his wizard is more difficult than keeping oneās virginity at an incubus party.
To make matters worse, Twig’s old enemies start dropping like fairyflies, and they find themselves smack in the middle of an inconvenient murder investigation with a certain red fury as the main suspect. With everyone in Lighthelm convinced of Billās guiltāand by association TwigāsāStarfig Investigations is on the case.
Is there no one in the Elder Realm whoās fairy and impartial?
