Very Interesting

Not very predictable, and worth reading! Makes one curious about what is to happen next. Anita Palmer believes herself to be having the longest dream she had ever had: Anita is a Faerie princess in her dream. It does take a while for her to realize that she is truly the Faerie Princess Tania. Tania is actually the "daughter last of daughters seven", and is the legendary sole one to tread both world of human and Faerie. Princess Tania had disappeared on the eve of her wedding to Gabriel Drake, a duke from a renowned family. She had been with her closest sister, Princess Rathina when she disappeared. Five hundred years later, having lost all of her Faerie memories, Tania meets a boy named Evan, who is actually a servant sent by Gabriel to retrieve her. He becomes her boyfriend. Tania is finally founded by Gabriel, who brings Tania back to the Faerie world. Tania learns that time had stopped in the Faerie world because of the King Oberon's grief over the loss of his daughter, Tania. Upon her arrival back to the Faerie world, the gloom and despair lifts from it. Her mother, the Queen Titania, had died from a drowning accident on the same day Tania had disappeard. Princess Eden, who had witnessed it, had become solitary since then. Tania feels betrayed by Evan, whose real name is Edric Chanticleer. She believes that he had used forged love to drag her back to the Faerie world. In this book, Tania will need to solve a mystery, each unfolding plot and buried thoughts in unpredictable minds. Princess Rathina had not been very loyal to her. It was she who had suggested to Tania to try to walk into the human world, "just to find out if she, Tania, was the one in the legend". Rathina had done that to get rid of Tania, in jealousy of her sister because she, not Rathina, would marry Gabriel. Edric had been loyal to her all that time, even risking his life to tell her the truth about Gabriel's plot. Gabriel never loved Tania, only wished to bond to her because of his greed for the ability to walk in both worlds. He had been conspiring against the King Oberon. Upon realizing that Edric had told the truth to Tania, Gabriel sends him to the Amber Prison, a very deadly, miserable place. Tania must prevent Gabriel from marrying her by force. She sets out to free Edric from the prison, and meets surprising friends and foes along the way. Princess Eden reveals that Queen Titania had disappeared, not died. It all ends in a quite happy scene, except that Tania must find Titania. The story will contiunue in the "Lost Queen", the second book of the series.

Really good

I bought this book expecting to give it to my sister. I wanted to read it first though. I didn't really expect much, but I was in for a suprise. I became addicted. This book paints and amazing picture of Faerie. I loved it so much that I decided to keep it and had to buy another copy for my sister. I highly recommend them.

OMG I love this book!!!!!!

This book is absolutely amazing! I absolutely adore it! There are so many different plot twists and turns that I didn't anticipate, and there is a realistic feel to the book that doesn't occur in most fairy stories. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes books involving romance, intrigue, deceipt, betrayal, and a writing style that makes you not want to put it down until you've turned the final page!

Faerie Path is interesdting!

The story is about a fifteen year old girl. The day before her birthday her boyfriend takes her on a ride in a motorboat, they hit a bridge, and both of them of them are taken to a hospital. She has a strange dream and wakes up on the floor. Before her dream she is given a magical blank book. Her boyfriend goes missing after the dream. She has another dream, or so she thinks. From then on she is in the magical land of Faerie. There she finds her six sisters and her true father. The rest of the book is a whirlwind as she finds out who she truly is. It is a bit confusing as to who is good and who is bad. Her few travels to the "Mortal World" are very brief and cause a little more confusion, but the story and detail are wonderful. That fact that a few of the characters are from Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer's Night Dream," is really cool. This book is very exciting and descriptive. I look forward to book 2 in this series.

5 stars

A boating trip with her boyfriend to celebrate turning sixteen proves to be the pivotal moment of Anita's life. After an accident, the teens are taken to the hospital where she is given a book that tells the story of a Faery Princess who vanished on her wedding day. Not long after, she follows a phantom into the Faerie lands where she learns that she is that princess, Princess Tania. Her boyfriend, unfortunately, is not her intended, but his servant. Yet, Anita/Tania feels torn between two worlds, especially since she cannot remember being a princess. There is more going on that she comprehends, to be sure, and that's no fairy tale! ***** For either teens or adults with a young heart and mind, this is a lovely story to experience. Tania makes for a compelling heroine whose divided heart will cause a pang in yours. If you loved Labyrinth and wished there was more to the story, you can enter a world like that here and be satisfied. *****
