When "Faerie Lord" was published it was touted as the finale to the series. The story is mostly forgettable despite the fact that this book is a bit of a dud.I would recommend the first four books in this series as excellent middle grade fantasy reads.Īdmittedly, I was a little cautious about this one. Even though this is a full length book, it feels more like a quick and fun story set in the same world as the previous four books. Overall this is an okay addition to the series, but I would only recommend if you are a huge fan of this series. Pacing was a bit off at times too and there were parts that were just plain boring. The book switches between a lot of different points of view and in this case that just broke up the story too much and made it flow poorly. The writing is humorous and snappy but a bit silly too. This was a fun little story set in the same world as the previous books and there are cameos by all the main characters in those previous books but there just wasn’t anything here that was really engaging to propel the story forward.
I also didn’t enjoy Mella as much as Henry and Blue. Given the long time between the publishing of the fourth and fifth book, I had a bit of trouble remembering all of the characters. This wouldn’t be that big of a deal except that Lord Hairstreak is up to his shenanigans and determined to take over the throne. Mella is determined to meet her human grandmother and causes a number of issues in doing so. This book takes place 15 years after the last Faerie Wars Chronicles novel and focuses on Henry and Blue’s daughter Mella.
I didn’t enjoy this book as much as previous books in the series probably because it’s been so long since I read the other books in the series (it was five years between the publishing of the fourth and fifth book.then it took me another few years to get around to reading it). I really enjoyed the first four books in the Faerie War Chronicles and was excited to see another book be released in the series.
