Song of the Fairy
Queen by Valerie Douglas
Description
It's said of Fairy
that if you're in dire need and call the name of one, they'll come. With his
young son, Gawain, in his arms and his castle under siege, High King Oryan
couldn't be in any more dire need. With only Morgan, his High Marshal, and a
handful of Morgan's men at his back, he has only one direction left to run...up.
There's also only
one ally to whom he can turn. Kyriay, Queen of the Fairy.
It's not enough,
though, to rescue them. Oryan must be restored to his throne. The usurper
Haerold has little love for his people, and even less for Fairy.
Review
By Stephanie Haddad
This is a pretty epic book. No, really, it's long, covers a couple of years, lots of traveling, and has an epic feel to it. It reminds me more of one of those "guy" fantasy stories that has a couple of volumes. I hate to say it, but the first half of the book dragged. I felt like it could have been cut in half and moved a lot faster, and there was too much of a focus on politics and more minor characters. BUT - the second half of the book rocked. The action was fast paced, the love scenes were hot, the dialogue was snappy, and the focus remained on the people I actually gave a hoot about - Kyriay and Morgan.
