Courtesy of Teens Read Too

Princess Tania and her true love, Edric, have returned from the Faerie Realm to find the missing queen Titania, but first must face Tania's mortal parents and the consequences of their three-day absence. Forbidden from seeing Edric outside of school and play rehearsals for Romeo and Juliet, they prowl the streets of London seeking clues to her long-lost mother's whereabouts. The threat of Tania's former betrothed haunts her nightmares, a pervading sense of unease plagues those she left behind in Faerie, and the shadows of her previous mortal lives begins to intrude regularly on everyday life. In a race against the clock, Tania and Edric may soon find their time has run out. With clever details from classic English literature (i.e., a key character's business being located on Spenser Street - no doubt an allusion to Edmund Spenser, author of The Faerie Queene), mirroring the central romance of famed star-crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet, and drawing from a variety of mythologies, Frewin Jones weaves a tale that draws the reader in and jumps off the page. THE LOST QUEEN is all at once sparkling and enchanting, yet darkly addictive. A great follow-up to THE FAERIE PATH that will definitely leave readers craving more. Reviewed by: Cat

Wonderful book for pre-teen girls

This is a wonderful book for young girls. How wonderful to have a new series of books for this generation of young girls. (Nancy Drew was the series when I was a girl, I wish this series had been around then too!)

Fairy Path Books 1 2 & 3

The Fairy Path Books 1 2 & 3 were awesome. I couldn't stop reading and couldn't wait to get to the next book. I was so sad when I completed all three.

Things little girls are made of.

I bought this book for my niece. She's at the age where princes and princesses and what they do are immensly important to her. It's a book. Any book you can get a child to read is a very good thing. I always see to it she has something she wants to read and several in line waiting. Instead of watching mind killing television, she is reading. This is a book she wanted so as far as I'm concerned, it's a good one. Stephen Richey Author of The Galley

A Fun Fantasy Adventure

I had read the previous book, The Faerie Path, a while ago and was excited to read this sequel. And it did not disappoint. The book started off with Tania and Edric, returning from Faerie to the Mortal World to find Tania's mother that has been missing from Faerie for five hundred years. But this task proves even more difficult than they expected, as Tania and Edric must hide their secrets from the Mortals, and the evil Lord Drake returns into Tania's life, haunting her in her dreams. And if that's not enough, Tania is pursued by other forces that could ruin her quest and change Faerie in ways they never could have expected. Of course, this book doesn't have the best writing I have ever read nor is it the best book I have ever read. I still really, really liked it, but it's not the greatest thing out there. But it is a fun-filled, exciting fantasy adventure that is great for anyone looking for a light read.
