Book Two of the Faerie Path
Plot: Anita has come to accept her Faerie life and realizes she really is Tania, lost Faerie princess. Now she travels back to Earth with Edric to find her mother, the queen. But Tania immediately has to deal with challenges when her parents forbid her to see Edric. She has to struggle to continue the search for her real mother without losing her parents' trust.
Comments: I preferred The Faerie Path to The Lost Queen, but I'm not altogether certain why. The characters are different in this story; there is less detail about their different personalities. That's most likely because the readers already know the characters, but it felt like there was a little bit more life in the first book. The characters were a lot more familiar with each other, and I liked the feeling of everyone working together and always being there for each other. But it still lacked some emotion, I think. I didn't feel a whole lot of emotion between Tania and Edric, for example. They said they loved each other and everything, but there was nothing new, nothing proving it wasn't just a failing high school relationship.
The story line was a lot easier to follow than in the first book, but I admit there is some good in having the story be a little mysterious. The plot was straightforward, with interesting details and troublesome problems to keep you from getting bored. I thought the search for the queen could have been more of the center of the story. It felt like that part was big, but not the story, and that's what I had been expecting. It also seemed too easy. I mean, they searched for a while, and couldn't find anything, but that's not what I'm talking about. When they finally found out who the queen was on Earth, it was easy for them to find out everything else, and it seemed like something else should have made it harder.
Rating: I rate this book a seven out of ten.
