Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Megan Howell

     Aprilynne Pike's #1 best-selling debut, Wings, is the first of four books about a seemingly ordinary girl named Laurel who discovers she is a faerie sent among humans to guard the gateway to Avalon. When Laurel is thrust into the midst of a centuries-old battle between faeries and trolls, she's torn between a human and a faerie love, as well as her loyalties to each world. In this extraordinary tale of magic and intrigue, romance and danger, everything you thought you knew about faeries will be changed forever.  - from Aprilynne Pike's website

    Pike is an amazing author.  For a debut novel, the writing is amazingly crafted. When you pick up Wings, please realize that it's the first of four novels (the second due out June 2010) so it's more background information than anything. It sets the tone to a story with a very unique approach to fairies (or fae).

    Laurel is a really developed character, but the other corner's of her love triangle aren't so lucky. They have three more books to grow in though!  David is just two nice in this novel - which is the reason my mom left her ex-fiance to he better shape up!  Tamani is going to be a strong character - I can feel it!

   Wings is a really enjoyable read and I'm anxiously awaiting its sequel!
