First, let me get you caught up a bit. In the first book of this series, The Faerie Path, Anita learned that she was the missing Princess Tania in the faerie world. This time around, she is searching for her missing mother, Queen Titania. Anita is able to move back-and-forth between the mortal world and the faerie world. Nice.
There were three aspects of The Lost Queen that stood out to me.

Can you say drama much???
The Lost Queen was a boring, inconsistent, and overly dramatic novel with little plot and annoying characters.
That said, there were a few (few!) humerous scenes. Edric was actually likeable, and I liked learning a bit about how Queen Titania spent her 500 or whatever years. I also found Tania's flashbacks interesting. Jade was a funny friend.
The continual drama, though, just got on my nerves to no end. Tania goes on and on and on how she hates lying to her parents......more

After finally realizing that she was Princess from the Realm of Faerie, Princess Tania (Anita Palmer) went back to London in search of their mother, Queen Titania. The gift of being able to walk between worlds allowed Tania to search for the Queen and still be a part of some of the festivities that the Realm of Faerie has, until one night, all of a sudden she is no longer able to make the pass back to Faerie. Surprising her even more, three of her Princess sisters suddenly appear in her Mortal W...more
the second book of the series, but just as good as the first book. tania's now on the mission to save her mother-the faerie one, titania-with edric and they had to deal with another betrayal from rathina. the wicked king of lyonesse is now released and trying to take over both the faerie and mortal world. it's up to tania, her sisters, titania, and edric to save the world. after this battle, i wonder which world tania would choose to live in. i hope it's the faerie world, that would be a new twi...more
In this second book to The Faerie Path, Tania has returned to the mortal realm with her beloved Edric in search of her Faerie mother (also lost 500 years ago). She must make up lies in order for her parents to believe where she was all the time that she was really in Faerie. While she and Edric search, she finds herself making up more lies to tell her parents where she has been (they believe Edric responsible for her recent disapearence, so she is forbiden from seeing him). She must balance her...more
This was an ok book. I like serials (obviously, if you look at my bookshelves!) but I normally like serials that can stand on their own as books - there are exceptions to that - but usually those books are so full of action or other things that move a plot along. This book was really just filler between the previous and the next. What little plot movement there was could have been accomplished in about 20 pages. I will read the next one because I would love to see what happens in Faerie and to s...more
The second book in the Faerie path series mostly takes place in London. The girls must go back to the mortal world and find the lost queen of faerie. While in the the mortal world they are constantly being chased by Black Nights who wish to destroy them. They must find the Faerie Queen before and evil sorcerer destroys the beauty of Faerie and takes over the immortal world.
My 7 year old granddaughter gave this to me. I have the feeling that she did not herself read it, and I'm glad if she hasn't. The story is romantically charged - a 16 year old girl involved with a boyfriend about the same age; they love to be in each other's arms, etc. The story's premise is based on lying to her parents and the heroine has a lot of angst about that, but nonetheless. Her best friend seems overbearing and dismissive. There is a lot of simply rude behavior. The emotions seemed sti...more
I have read this whole series about two years ago and loved it (except for the last one) and I am re-reading the whole series and will be reviewing the whole series as I read it. This is the second book and Tania and Edric have been tasked with finding the lost queen, Titania. She is lost some where in the mortal world. So, they go back to the mortal realm and stuff happens.
What I really love about this whole series is that Tania's mortal parents are there. When she went into the faerie realm...more
i absoultely loved this book! it's fill with adventures and fantasy, it actually the best fairy book i ever read, but the way they spelled fairy is different, it's spelled faerie. This books has very nice details in every way. this books was very great but in the book for me, Tania was soft of stubborn, but it's good at the same time because she's explained as her normal teenaged self. i thought that when they find the queen they would be more suprised or something would happen but nothing reall...more
This book is really good. It is not what it seems. It is all about fighting thier lives to try to save the queen of Faerie. if you like mistic books, this is PERFECT!!
The characters in this book were okay, and the first few chapters weren't horrendous, but I hit about page 37 and the plot fell apart for me. It felt contrived, more like the author was pushing the character to do things, than the character would have been likely to do those things. I just couldn't stick with the story. It's a rare thing for me not to finish a book, but there are just too many other books I want to read right now to force myself to finish one that isn't holding my attention. May...more
The Lost Queen by Frewin Jones. So I just finished this book earlier today and it was sort of a letdown but still pretty good. Here's why . . . Book two of the faerie path is supposed to be about Tania's journey to find fairy mother Titania. Personally I found this book to be more talk than action. It seemed like Tania and Edric talked more about finding her and didn't look enough. In the beginning the book kind of dragged on and on also. It didnt even really have any sort of action like I thoug...more
My one complaint about this book - the love story is so sappy at times:
Home is where the heart is, and my heart is. . .and my heart is with you. - Edric
But it actually works in this story. The "sappiness" makes us smile at the simple sweetness instead of grimace.
I found The Lost Queen much more enjoyable than The Faerie Path. It had much more action, and I loved the twist with the three Princesses. All in all a good sequel which has convinced me to continue the series!

The second book in the Faerie Path series, The Lost Queen, finds Anita/Tania back in London trying to explain to her Mortal parents where she has been during the days that she was missing/reuniting with her family in Faerie. As punishment, the Palmers forbid her from seeing her boyfriend Evan/Edric, who is also Faerie-born and had only come to London in the first place to find Tania. But Tania and Edric have returned to London on a quest to find Queen Titania, who has also been missing from Faer...more
So, the library has 1, 5, and 6 in this series. No 2, 3, or 4. Someone up there is torturing me.

Me thinks that this was a pretty okay book... I mean, I'm not going to be able to buy or borrow the books later on in the series. I prefer a book that can span more time than just a week or less.
Much like its predecessor, this book keeps the main character (Tania) between the two worlds, except that there is an emphasis on which of the two she'll end up accepting. Beyond that point, we learn more about her past lives (and there will probably be more on those in the later novels) and... well, who...more

Jones, Frewin. 2007. The Lost Queen. (Book Two of the Faerie Path.
In The Faerie Path by Frewin Jones, we met a young teen girl, 15-almost-16, named Anita who at the beginning seemed quite ordinary.
From my first review: But on the eve of her sixteenth birthday, something big happens that changes everything. It all starts with a boat accident. It ends with several missing teenagers that disappeared from the hospital. Anita transformed, if you will, into Tania on her sixteenth birthday. She is the...more

Tania learns to go back and forth from Faery to Mortal realms, and the story follows this pattern. The purpuse is to find the Lost Queen Titania, her mother. She got lost looking for Tania when she disappeared in to the mortal realm 500 years ago.
One of the things that bothers me about this series, is that while occasionally a faery will go bad, they mostly are just people with special gifts who live in an awesome place. There is very little mysterious, or faery, or "other-ness" about them. Tan...more

In this volume of the Faerie Path, Tania's mortal parents forbid her and Edric from seeing each other and give Tania a curfew. This puts a huge damper on their ability to search for Queen Titania. As the story progresses Tania finds out who Titania is but can't reach her; additionally Tania seems unable to get back to faerie. This book comes across as basically a set up novel. Even though they do find Titania it feels like it is mainly to help the plot of the next novel.
It's a rarity to find a series in which the sophomore novel meets the expectations- especially when the bar is set high- of the first novel. The Lost Queen, second in the Faerie series, does just that. This one picks up right where Faerie Path leaves off, with Tania and Edric in search of Queen Tatania, her mother who has been gone for nearly 500 years.
I was captured, enthralled and curious for each page. If you're looking for a fun fantasy book to read, Frewin Jones is the author to look for.

The second in a series. The adventures continue for Tania - half princess, half mortal, but this time, her fairy sisters come to London. Just didn't catch me as much as the first or the third - too many things happening in this world that wouldn't normally. The reaction of her parents also felt unreal - no parent I know would have left her for a night alone after her lame explanation of her absence. But the next book is better.
The Lost Queen (Book 2)- Tania now knows shes a Fairie Princess and the only one capable of walking between the Mortal and Fairie realms. She and Edric/Evan are now on a quest to find the Lost Queen Titania in the Mortal world. This book, unlike the first one, grabbed my attention and kept it the whole way through. I was able to relate more to the protagonists. Lots of danger and adventure made this a good read. Overall: A-
Despite the cover, this series is an imaginative telling of two worlds. Through the story we face danger, friendship, love, loss, and heroism. The writing is simple and the story not complex. However, I was entertained enough to keep reading and find out the fate of the characters. The ending was sweet and actually satisfying, though there are a few things unresolved if the author wanted to add more.
Tania/Anita is back in the mortal world, and is she in trouble! She has been missing for 3 days and her parents are frantic. Then she keeps having visions of herself in a previous life which strike without warning. Her friends don't know what to think. At least she still has Eldric, even if her mortal parents blame him for everything. And she needs to find her real mother, Titania, before the Sorcerer King does.
