Anya, the main character in the book, is a Fae that has lost her wings. The wings help her fly and have elemental connection to different things. But she doesn’t have her wings to help her. Her cousin, Zabriel, is about to be executed. She can’t save him though. And somebody has gotten their hands on the Queen of Fae’s dagger. Anya attempts to get it back, but sadly fails. She has a lot to do to save her magnificent Realm. Does she have what it takes to save every living Fae in the world?
The beginning of the novel was pretty boring because there wasn’t any huge plot. Nearing the end of the book, though, it got more fascinating with many cliff hangers. The author used strong vocabulary to express the characters’ feelings. Most of the chapters were correctly named with the plot of that certain chapter. That made it easy to read the beginning of a chapter, and know what it is about.
The most memorable part in the novel was when Anya tried to find the Anlace, the Queen’s dagger. It was a great time because it was filled with suspense and a touch of humor.

ABOUT … Adrienne, Teen Librarian & Digital Media Lab Librarian at Libbie Mill Library.
Hi, I’m Adrienne, and I’ve been a Teen Librarian at HCPL since 2006. I started at Twin Hickory and moved to Libbie Mill in 2015. Come visit our Teen Room and check out all we have for you -- books, great study and hanging out space, free computers, free classes in 3D design & printing, Coding, Photoshop and soooo much more!
Random stuff about me:
* Favorite book: Hmmmm, this is hard, since it changes all the time as I read new stuff and depending on what mood I’m in. However, there is one book that I know will still make me snort with laughter even when I’m 80 years old — The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams.
* Favorite food: perfectly made toast
* Favorite band/music: Cake. I will never get enough Cake.
* Favorite reference question: Q: How long does it take the galaxy to rotate once? A: It’s called a galactic or cosmic year and it takes about 225-250 million earth years.
* Pets: I have two cats and a dog. Marcus and Grey are the cats who were rescued from a box in the woods when they were just little puffballs. When they are not acting insane, they are very sweet and purr loudly. My dog is named Peter and he's a medium size poodle mix (we call him the substandard poodle). He's got floppy ears, snores and loves green beans.
