Lydia, the girl from LJ Cohen's book The Between is back! Lydia was the girl who, with the help of a group of outcasts, overthrew the rulers of both the Dark and the Bright Faerie Courts, and then refused to rule over either Court. This has caused the Fey world to dissolve into chaos. And so the story begins, in Time and Tithe. Enter Lydia's little sister, Taylor, who is brought from the Mortal world by her imaginary childhood friend, Aeon, to rule in Lydia's place. Aeon was the close friend Lydia saw die, except he's not actually dead, is not imaginary, and is not the friend either girl thought he was. To make things even more dire, the changeling Lydia that grew up in the Mortal world is also brought into the war, along with her son and daughter. Lydia and Taylor, both now the same age and strangers to one another, have to save Faerie, as well as their "sister", her children, and the rest of the Mortal world. They do not have to do it alone, there are those whose loyalty cannot be questioned and many who choose to help for their own reasons. But, in the end, it still all rests with them. Or, does it? Help comes from some of the most unperceived areas in this stay-up-all-night-reading story. The twists and turns in this story will keep you enthralled until the very last word, and beyond.

And now, once again, I have to fill empty hours as I await yet the next book by Ms. Cohen. ( )
