Hey everyone! I finished reading a certain book recently, and the book today is...
Now I was a little confused because it turns out this book is a Sequel to another one of E.D. Baker's books, called "Fairy Wings". If I can find a copy of that somewhere where I live, I'm going to try to save up so I can buy it.
Anyway, this book is about a girl named Tamisin. She is a half fairy, half human girl whose parents are the Fairy Queen Titania and a Human named Bottom (I've read about A Midsummer Night's Dream before and had to stop myself from giggling because I remembered the story). The story starts of with her dancing in the moonlight, attracting other fairies to her with graceful and elegant moves. Tamisin starts to feel conflicted at the start of the story, because she keeps getting the urge to go back to the Land of the Fey- and back to her Mother's side.
It went to the point that she found herself walking to a Gate behind her school even when she meant to go somewhere else. But every time she looked at it, the Gate was closed. There was no way she was going to the Land of the Fey through her. Her mood grows more depressed and disappointed, and she even snaps at her boyfriend, a Half-cat goblin named Jack, for not telling her that a Gate opened in his backyard some time ago. It led to a strain in their relationship and made her even more depressed than before.
Even though she knew it was Titania's kiss that was making her want to go back, she couldn't help it. She lashed out because she couldn't get what she wanted. Then one day, she was dancing under the moonlight... only to be kidnapped by a Fairy belonging to Oberon's side of the forest!
As the story goes on, it reveals that people do a lot of stupid things just to get what they want. Some go as far as calling themselves superior, treating others who weren't like them below their high and mighty status. Some just steal because they wanted something so badly that they even used magic to try and convince everyone else what they believed was true!
It truly is a case of "Fairy Lies"... but the ending was wrapped up nicely. Preventing a war before it got too bad, getting past the spells and finally seeing her real (very sweet) boyfriend again, it makes me wonder what kind of Adventure Tamisin had in Fairy Wings. If it was as great as Fairy Lies, I wonder if there's a copy I could buy? I can really see how stubborn people can be... a lot of things happen because some refuse to believe the Truth, so they make up their own "truth". It's a little sad, but it's very close to reality.
If you guys see this book, I recommend you buy it! Even if you didn't read Fairy Wings (like me!) I can assure you, this is a good book. It's definitely something worth reading!
