Anita is on the verge of turning sixteen, and her life couldn’t be any better. She has wonderful parents and friends, she has the lead in the school play, and she has caught the eye of the new boy Evan. On the day before her birthday Evan takes Anita out for a surprise, but the evening lands the two in the hospital. They both seem fine, but Evan has yet to wake up from the trauma. Anita on the other hand is having wonderful dreams of growing wings and flying out windows and receiving wonderful b...more
The Faerie Path by Frewin Jones is a delightful new take on a true Faerie Tale! This story is not only for the young adult but for anyone from age 12 to 99. I absolutely loved this book and cannot wait to get my hands on the next book in the series.
Anita is a normal teen, long blond hair, slim build and very pretty. Mom, dad and Anita share a wonderful home in the suburbs of London. She has a wonderful boyfriend who just happens to adore her and a best friend to share all her secrets with.

My guess is you would like this book if u like those books about magic and mystery and love. Don't worry. this book isn't as "fruity tooty" as it sounds. I personnaly read it in about 4 days.
Anita is a girl growing up in present day London. It is her 16th birthday and she receives a mysterious book with no return address. Inside it says:
Faeries tread the Faerie Path
Amber trapped though moth wing light they be

This is the first book that I've read that would be considered feminine. And I will tell you it was a journey that I found very, very burdensome at times, and somewhat revealing to the mysteries behind what a woman thinks... not really, but I can tell you what I think of the book.
Faerie Path is a book full of pretty dresses, a girls fantasy, and and realm of wingless faeries.... the wingless already knocks it down a star. For my self I found the book on the more cliche side and somewhat predicta...more

Even though this book is said to be for young adults, I get the feeling that it should be more for those of a younger age. There were some times that the description was good, but I didn't think I actually knew the character. Tania/Anita had a 'perfect' background, having found out that she was fairy princess and everything becoming all happy again when she came back. But I didn't really get a good picture of who she was as a person. The second part seemed to move quicker than the first part, bu...more
I get so excited when I find a really good young adult novel. One that isn't just another badly written, inconsistent, weakly-plotted, unimaginative story of a girl who comes into her own as she grows up with the help of some loyal friends (or family) and the love of a good man.
Oh wait, I've just spoiled The Faerie Path for you. I almost gave it all away. Damn. Well, I might as well tell you the rest then: Anita/Tania is actually a fairy princess, not a mortal girl, and the good man quotes Romeo...more

Picked this up on a whim. I should have known from the cover that it wasn't going to about princess faeries instead of the dark faeries we all know and love from the likes of Melissa Marr and Holly Black.
The book is all right. I don't really care for it either way. The love interest irks me almost as much as the heroine.
If you need to read all the books on faeries you can get your hands on, read it. If you want to know how NOT to do a faerie story, then I would also recommend you read this for t...more

REVIEW
The Faerie Path offers a look into the life of a young girl torn between her mortal life on Earth and her newly discovered magical life as a faerie princess. Having read other books with a similar setup, I would say The Faerie Path has a somewhat predictable plot.
When Anita learns she is really the missing Princess Tania of the faerie world, she is obviously shaken. While I can understand that she was missing her old life, I wish she would have embraced her new life more. I wish she had a...more

I wasn't sure what to expect at first when I first began to read this book. I guess I was expecting something kind of similiar to the first book in the Iron Fey series, Iron King by Julie Kagawa. But it was different, although there were a few similiarities. In the beginning, we meet Anita Palmer, the seemingly normal teenage girl,(except for these weird bumps around the shoulders in the back and the fact that she seems to have a strange reaction to metal...), whose birthday is coming up.

Honestly, I think everything about this book is amazing! Frewin Jones is one of my favorite all-time authors, along with Rachel Caine, Shannon Hale, Cassandra Clare, and Cinda Williams Chima. What did I love about this book, you're wondering? I guess it would be the setting, England, which I love. The Arthurian dresses. The sisters were fun and delightful.

This is an okay book. Although the descriptions were vivid, I found the author to overuse them on the dresses and not the characters themselves. There were too many sisters and either appears one at a time for the span of about two pages or all at once. The characters were poorly developed, being flat as they were. Few good twists or turns in the plot, and the events proved to be the least suspenseful. I think the idea behind the novel is good, but it only lacks development. Hopefully, the next...more
I pretty much read The Faerie Path on impulse. I was at the library picking up some other books and I saw it sitting on a nearby table. The cover caught my eye with its intriguing beauty, and I vaguely recalled seeing it somewhere online, so I picked it up without even glancing at the summary. I figured it was about faeries, and that was all I needed to know.

I picked up this book b/c I write MG fiction in this genre. There aren't as many YA books that feature faeries so I was looking forward to it. I was sorely disappointed.
Perhaps I've gotten spoiled by Suzanne Collins and Robin Hobbs. They have a way of building a story's tension through to the climax. I simply found this story dull.
The dialogue was unoriginal and I found myself annoyed with the main character, who has this completely irrational reaction to the guy she is "in love" with when she...more

For her sixteenth birthday, Anita Palmer was enjoying a boat rider with her boyfriend Evan Thomas when suddenly, there was an accident and they both ended up in the hospital. The strange dreams that Anita started having became more than just a dream after she realized that she really could be the lost princess Tania of the Faerie Realm. Finding out that Evan was really a servant named Edric left Tania feeling betrayed by everyone, the Lord Gabriel Drake seemed to be helpful. She still needed to...more
Anita is a city teen, used to the hustle and bustle of her hometown London.

Well erring on the side of being nice I have given this book four stars, though really it is a three and a half star book.
Anita Palmer is a typical teen. She has grown up in London and nothing very interesting ever happens to her - until Evan starts coming to her High School. She is cast a Juliet to his Romeo and quickly finds herself falling for the young man. But he is more than she could ever imagine, her life, an untruth hidden throughout time.

Looking for a quick read, I picked up The Faerie Path a couple years ago. I got a third through, but I was unable to bring myself to finish it. For such a thin book, it was an uphill struggle trying to read it. The story is just too bland for my tastes.
The Faerie Path is the stereotypical girl-grows-into-her-own-sort of story, except there are fairies involved. Starting with an unoriginal premise is unfortunate, however I would've still been willing to read it if the characters were at least in...more

I wanted to branch out a little, so I picked up a book about a young woman who discovers she's a fairy. The writing was dull and the story was uninspired and wandering. Most of the plot elements seemed to come from a Barbie cartoon (if there are such things -- it was very clothing obsessed) and some kind of video game. Go here, meet six sisters, each of whom have a special trait (just like the main character, who can flit between the Mortal World and the Faerie World.) I mean, she's gone for 500...more
In this book, Anita Palmer is just an ordinary 15 year old girl growing up in London. She has great friends and a new boyfriend, but on the eve of her sixteenth birthday, while she and her boyfriend Evan are on a boatride, they mysteriously crash. While in the hospital (and Evan has mysteriously disapeared) she hears a male's voice calling to her and she follows it into a brand new world that she never thought poassible. She at first regards it all as a dream, but then things that could never ha...more
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 b...more
I found this book to be ok. The author gave amazingly vivid descriptions throughout the book but at times I felt it was a bit too much. I feel as though more time was spent on creating this amazing land of Faerie than on the characters and it made the book drag a little. I kept waiting for some event to happen to keep the story moving along and it finally did but not until I was 3/4 done with the book. Once the event happened though the story finally moved at a pace I enjoyed and I finished the...more
