the Immortal Realm, by Frewin Jones

Summary from Borders.com - Princess Tania thinks she's found a way to bring her two worlds together. But as faeries fall to a mysterious illness, Tania must race to save her beloved immortal realm from a dangerous mortal threat.

Rhia’s Review – So, book number 4. You’d think I’d be a little tired of it by now, but no. This 4th book begins kind of a new story arc. It’s really interesting to see sickness in the ‘Immortal Realm’ of Faerie, showing that no land is free from sickness and disease. This one really has a sense of suspense, given the ultimatums that are presented to Tania, and the end really left me wondering what the next course of action will be.

The Recommendation – Same as the others really; Faerie fans will probably love it. If you’re a fan of the series and were doubtful about the next one (I get nervous about continuing series, sometimes.) well don’t be! It’s well worth it.

The Other Books – The Enchanted Quest, the fifth book in the series, came out last month. I have yet to get my hands on it, but it’s definitely on my buy list!

There’s also a ‘manga’ graphic novel series, but I’ve never had an affinity for the Americanized manga.

The Vitals* – Hardback only as of yet, for the usual hardback price of $16.99.

the Sorcerer King, by Frewin Jones

Also published as the Seventh Daughter.

 

Summary – Tania returns to Faerie with her lost mother only to find it under the control of the evil Sorcerer King! With everything seemingly in ruins, what can Tania do to set things right?

Rhia’s Review – The third book in The Faerie Path series shows us the Princesses of Faerie battle an evil sorcerer who seeks to control all of Faerie himself. Tania’s quest to defeat him takes her, her sisters, and Edric to new places in Faerie, where they encounter new creatures, and meet some new friends. The story still hasn’t lost appeal for me, and I love watching the story unfold, as some of the twists involve important characters. Definitely a great read!

The Recommendation – If you’re a fan so far, keep sticking with the series.

The Other Books – So far, so good!

The Vitals* – This book is available in hardback for $16.99 and paperback (As The Seventh Daughter) for $8.99.

the Lost Queen, by Frewin Jones

Summary – Picking up right where the The Faerie Path left off, Tania and Edric return to London, and come to begin a search for the Princess’s lost mother, Titania, who is somewhere in the Mortal Realm.

Rhia’s Review – This is another of those sequels that doesn’t make you lose interest in the series as a whole. Things really get interesting as old enemies return, and there’s a good bit of action and suspense.

The Recommendation – If you like Faeries, or if you read The Faerie Path and enjoyed it, you should really read this book.

The Other Books – So far, I’ve bought all the sequels, and I don’t intend to stop.

The Vitals* – the Lost Queen is available in both hardback($16.99) and paperback($8.99).

the Faerie Path, by Frewin Jones

Summary from Borders.com – Swept away into a court of magic and beauty, she discovers she is Tania, the lost princess of Faerie.  But Tania can't forget Anita's world, or the boy she loved there. Torn between two loves and between two worlds, Tania slowly remembers why she disappeared, and realizes that she is the only one who can stop a sinister plan that threatens the entire world of Faerie.

Rhia’s Review – Once again this book falls into the category of  spin offs and derivations of classics, which is something that first drew me to it! I was so excited when I saw that Tania was the daughter of Titania and Oberon, as A Midsummer Night’s Dream is my favorite Shakespeare play! But the best part of all is that this book did not disappoint!

Frewin Jones has created beautiful and magical world, and the story really drew me in. There were a couple of neat twists, and I love the characters! With so many sisters, you might think that all of their personalities would overlap and jumble up, but that doesn’t happen. the Faerie Path was really well written, and let’s face it, the covers are simply beautiful!

The Recommendation – While there isn’t a lot reminding me of Shakespeare in the book, fans of Faeries will really enjoy this book! But of course, I think everyone should read it.

The Other Books – There are four other books published in the series so far. I have three of them. Look fore more info in coming reviews.

The Vitals* – You can get this fantastic book in paperback ($8.99) or hardback($16.99).
