I must say I consider myself lucky, when it comes to the fae family I've stumbled into some interesting and different stories like Tooth & Nail by Jennifer Safrey and Shayla Witherwood: a Half Faerie-tale. Honestly I never expected trouble steering up in the fae world like this.
Pixies being imprisoned, slaved and broken, so that they can prepare the pixie dust for other fae that are to lazy to do it themselves.
This book could be considered strong because of the way the story is told you get to feel it as poor Rosalie feels it, the desperation when she has no idea why she was taken away, the horrors she experiences as a captive and the toll it takes on the other pixies. Rosalie is with out a doubt the star of this story she shines with her spunk, the way you connect with her and her will to keep on going.
A thing I loved is that there aren't any unnecessary characters, everybody plays their roll perfectly, every character shines and makes an impact in this story, we get to know why they are relevant and they strongly expand our point of view of the world Rosalie lives in, even if she isn't able to experience it.
If you are craving faeries pixies or something fae related look no more. This book has action, a compelling character, a good story, an unbreakable fighting spirit and a little romance.
Rating:
Oh, I'm so glad you liked it Berenice! I agree about it having action and romance, and that no character was unnecessary. Great review, girly!
