About book The Faerie Path (2007)

My guess is you would like this book if u like those books about magic and mystery and love. Don't worry. this book isn't as "fruity tooty" as it sounds. I personnaly read it in about 4 days. Anita is a girl growing up in present day London. It is her 16th birthday and she receives a mysterious book with no return address. Inside it says: Faeries tread the Faerie Path Amber trapped though moth wing light they be Mortals stay in mortal world Iron clad with half blind eyes they see One alone will walk both worlds Daughter last of daughters seven With her true love by her side Honest hand and true love given Her boyfriend Evan takes her on a boat ride. He is about to tell her some big news but sees something on the water. As he speeds away from it they crash into the bridge. She wakes up in the hospital room and finds that Evan has gone missing. The next morning a mysterious, ghost of a stranger comes and leads her into the land of Faerie. Faerie has been in 500 years of darkness since princess Tania vanished.500 years ago, on the eve of her wedding, princess Tania and her sister were sitting on the bed when Tania vanished without a trace... The man who took her here (Gabriel, her betrothed) tells Anita that she is Tania, The 7th daughter of Oberon, lost in the mortal world for 500 years. According to the poem she can walk between both worlds. Gabriel takes her to the king, her father. He is so delighted to have her back that he ends the 500 years darkness and all are happy again. While there she meets her 6 sisters. music loving Zara, book loving Sancha, Animal loving Cordelia, the gifted healer Hopie, and beautiful Rathina. The 6th sister Eden never leaves her overgrown tower. A long time ago, Tania vanished, the queen Titania and Eden were out on the boat, when it overturned and she drowned. The king was so heart broken that he put 500 years of night. As she learns about the castle (and her "love" Gabriel) she more and more, and even learns some secrets that should have been reveled a long time ago. I liked this book alot and i highly recomend it :).

Please go here to see the complete review: http://incandescentenchantments.blogs...The Good:Honestly, I think everything about this book is amazing! Frewin Jones is one of my favorite all-time authors, along with Rachel Caine, Shannon Hale, Cassandra Clare, and Cinda Williams Chima. What did I love about this book, you're wondering? I guess it would be the setting, England, which I love. The Arthurian dresses. The sisters were fun and delightful. Hopie, the healer, Sancha the reader, Rathina my least favorite, Eden and the Mystic Arts, Zara the flirter, Cordelia the animal lover, and the main character, Tania, who is in love Edric and wishes to keep her fairy wings forever.Faerie was a beautiful land, similar to London, England. The palace was beautiful, large and grand. The fairy children could fly. I thought was pretty cool.The Bad:I honestly do not think there was anything that I did not like in this book. Everything was amazing!The Guys:The guys in The Faerie Path are Gabriel Drake and Edric. Gabriel is a duke, rich, handsome, powerful. And a practicer of the Mystic Arts. Beautiful yet eerie silver eyes. Polite, yet I think he is the "bad boy" in the story. Read the book and you will see what I mean.Edric is the other love interest. At the beginning of the book, Edric and Tania/Anita are already dating. I liked him, but I thought he was weak. Not as a character, but physically and mentally. He seemed kind of hopeless. But, I did not mind. I liked the change. The Faerie Path made Edric sort-of like the "damsel-in-distress."Random Quote:Her face gazed back at her.Queen Titania's face.Her face.They were one and the same. ~pg. 160The End:I urge you to read these series. This is my second time reading the series, and I still love them. The Faerie Path series is a fun, light read full of magic and wonder.

Do You like book The Faerie Path (2007)?

I wanted to branch out a little, so I picked up a book about a young woman who discovers she's a fairy. The writing was dull and the story was uninspired and wandering. Most of the plot elements seemed to come from a Barbie cartoon (if there are such things -- it was very clothing obsessed) and some kind of video game. Go here, meet six sisters, each of whom have a special trait (just like the main character, who can flit between the Mortal World and the Faerie World.) I mean, she's gone for 500 years and her father, the faerie king, plunges the world into darkness because he's sad about it (and her mother disappearing -- she goes after her ... a seed book two, I guess) and the day after she returns, he goes on a business trip? The whole plot was very shallow.The only original thing about it was that faeries have wings until adolescence, then they disappear. I will not be reading any of the sequels!

I love faerie books. I really, really do. Having read all of Holly Black and Melissa Marr's series, I was looking in the YA section for a new take. A 12 yr old recommended this one to me.*sigh*I couldn't make it past the first chapter. It was so... childishly written (the main character has all the makings of a Mary Sue, perfect and loved by everyone, talented and wonderful... and the author plunks her down in front of the mirror on the first page to describe how pretty she is.) And it only gets more syrupy and sparkly after that.So my advice? Skip it. Go get some REAL fairy/fae/ fairie books that don't have a soppy main character written with all the cliche of a jr. high girl's first fanfic.Harsh? Yes. But check out the the authors I mentioned above. Then you'll see how well YA fiction can be written.

This book was super cute! it was a breath of fresh air! The faerie path was true to its name, it was a fairy tale through and through. The charters were all perfectly defined and that has to be hard since there are at least 11 main charters in including Anita (the main main charter).Anita is just an ordinary girl living in her ordinary town of London. Her 16th birthday is approaching. the day before her birthday she was in a boat crash. or so it seems. She is at the hospital on the night of her 16 birthday.When a man suddenly appears and asks her to follow him. as soon as she is on the balcony and takes his hand everything changes. He brings her to the fairy kingdom where she learns she is actually the long lost fairy princess Tania. The only problem is she cant remember anything about being Tania. Though her returned presence brings joy to the kingdom, her return could mean the end of it. As Anita struggles to remember her past, she starts to wonder why she left in the first place. If maybe she had saved the kingdom by not being there.This was a really good read! i recommend to girls 8+ though im sure the younger ones wouldn't mind listing in.
