Summary

For fans of Cassandra Clare and Holly Black comes a new story that will lure you into a world of magic and monsters, and never let you go.

The trees in Hartwood Forest are hiding an ancient secret, a door into a magical realm where fairy princes and monsters are one and the same. Seventeen-year-old Aria is bored of her small town and dreams of a life filled with excitement and adventure. She’s about to learn the meaning of “be careful what you wish for”. After a chilling encounter at the local summer fair, Aria is ripped from her normal life and dragged through the Veil into the Fair Realm by a strange, silver-eyed boy and his band of fairy soldiers. They believe she is the legendary Fair Queen, the subject of a prophecy that promises to unite the war-ravaged realm and bring an end to the centuries-long conflict between the Five Kingdoms.

But it can’t be true. Can it?

Beset by terrifying creatures at every turn and hunted by a tyrannical king who will stop at nothing to prevent the prophecy from coming true, Aria will have to rely on her wits if she’s to escape the Fair Realm with her life.

Book One in The Fair Chronicles, a new young adult fantasy series for fans of The Mortal Instruments and The Folk of the Air.

Entertaining, but a little confusing

I really enjoyed this story and all the twists and turns, but I have to admit that at the end I was totally confused as to what happened and why. (A lot happens very near the end, and it wasn't explained well enough for me.) I especially didn't understand all the attacks against Aria along the journey by Oberon when he actually wanted her alive for his purposes. It didn't make sense. At any rate, the story and characters still hooked me, and I am intrigued to see where they go from here.

The narrator was good and very easy to listen too.

I simply can't wait for the next book!

Just wow! This was my first encounter with author Lyndsey Hall, but definitely not the last! What a magnificent puzzle of a story, you never know who's friend or foe and there's some amazing details in the characters development. I was absolutely hooked from the way the story began and it didn't disappoint. It pulls you in and have some really great and original ideas regarding the whole faery element.
The narrator did a great job, very easy to listen to and distinguish each character.
Now there's only one thing left to say: I need the next book!

Friend or foe?

This story sends us to a magical land where you never know who is friend or foe. What people really want and who you really are. It sort of dragged at times when it needed to story build but there was plenty of action. Sparks of affection in this one but not too much romance.

Enjoyable magical tale

The story is magical and beautifully narrated.

There is suspense and the hint of romance. The characters are well developed and there is a sense of fun in the relationships that adds depth.

Some parts are a bit drawn out and perhaps could have been told more succinctly.

Overall an enjoyable tale!
