Book Description

29 April 2010

A magical romance blossoms in the follow-up to WINGS, the bestselling novel described by Stephenie Meyer as "a remarkable debut".

"I can't just storm in and proclaim my intentions. I can't 'steal' you away. I just have to wait, and hope that someday you'll ask," Tamani said.
"And if I don't?" Laurel asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
"Then I guess I'll be waiting forever."

It's been almost a year since Laurel discovered that she is a faerie, placed with human parents as an infant to help protect the gateway to the faerie realm of Avalon. Although she's come to accept her true identity, Laurel refuses to turn her back on her human life-and especially her boyfriend, David-to return to the faerie world.
But when she is summoned to Avalon to relearn her long-forgotten faerie magic, Laurel must depend on the charismatic faerie sentry Tamani. Her feelings for him are undeniable, and she is forced to make a choice-a choice that could break her heart.
When a deadly enemy resurfaces and puts both Laurel's life and Avalon in danger, Laurel must draw on all her human strength as well as her faerie skills to save both of her worlds and all of those she holds dear.

Product Description

Review

Praise for WINGS
"Aprilynne Pike's WINGS is a remarkable debut; the ingenuity of the mythology is matched only by the startling loveliness with which the story unfolds."
-Stephenie Meyer, author of the Twilight Saga

"An enthralling story of danger and love. This reinterpretation of the faerie story is one that will captivate readers with its plausibility and imagination."
-Romantic Times

"Silky narration . . . delicious escapism."
-Kirkus Reviews

"[The book] has an interesting love triangle… The writing is accessible and easygoing, but pace and tension gathers efficiently in the background." TheBookBag.co.uk

"Unputdownable!" Mizz

"The story is well-written; Laurel's developing relationships… are convincing and the plot rattles along with enough conviction to hold your interest." School Librarian

5.0 out of 5 stars ENCHANTING SEQUEL 25 April 2011
By Eleni TOP 100 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
This is the second book in a new young adult series by Aprilynne Pike.

In the previous book in the series, Wings, fifteen year old Laurel moved with her parents from her home in the forest to a new town, she discovered that she is a fairy and she realized not only that she is responsible for her parents safety but that the future of the entire fairy realm depends on her. In this wonderful sequel, Laurel, one year later still tries to cope with her fairy nature and her feelings for her loving and dependable human boyfriend David and the mysterious fairy Tamani.

Unlike the first book, where Laurel only briefly visited Avalon, now she is asked to stay and study so that she can better defend herself, her family, and her friends. However, Avalon is nothing like she expected; magical and spectacular, but also old-fashioned and infuriating, with its unjust social structure, the ridiculous restrictions between the various fairy classes, and the silly racism against humans. Although Avalon is not a place for independent Laurel to call home, her duty to the fairy world and her attraction for Tamani, maintain a strong hold on her. When the trolls attack once more and threaten her human friends, laurel needs to decide where her future is and in which world she belongs.

The book is very well written, the characters well developed and likable, the descriptions of Avalon breathtaking and the story is captivating, filled with magic, adventure and romance. As with all really good books the ending leaves you asking for more. However, if you haven't read Wings , I am afraid that this one won't make any sense, as it is a sequel. Although the book is aimed to teenagers it can easily be enjoyed by older readers.
