With its blend of fairies, trolls, kelpies and fighting for what’s right, I enjoyed this book immensely. Being quite a substantial read, it is a tale of greed, power and manipulation, all mixed up with a sliver of romance in a realistic fantasy setting. The depth of friendships - new and old - is believable. The characters are extremely likeable. I particularly loved the raw goodness of a member of nobility as they interacted and fitted in with the common people.
Overall this is a beautifully written fantasy adventure that I would consider suitable for everyone, no matter their age. There is no excessive violence and no adult content. I would have no hesitation handing it to anyone at all, including a child. Awesome stuff!

I was approached to conduct a true and honest review of Magic's Betrayal via The Writer's Alley website. I was intrigued by the pitch and the cover of the book. I always enjoy a good story with magic and magical beings...who doesn't?
I want to state that I enjoyed the story, but every story has things that could be improved.
The writing was good, but what I do have to say is that I struggled with the "show" vs "tell" motif in this story. The entire time that I was reading, I felt as though I was observing what was happening instead of being in the moment. Now, this is why I gave the story 4/5 stars. I believe that it's a preference thing. Some people may not be bothered by the "show" vs "tell" subject.
The author has a good idea, and as I stated above, I enjoyed reading.

Fairies, kelpies, elementals......
A unique story about betrayal, secrets, power, redemption and hope. All of that wrapped up in the magical world of the fae. Lots of action, a magic, battle, and a bit of love thrown in. All in all, a fantastic bit of reading to enjoy!

A nice story
I liked the story (plot). I liked the characters. The way the fairies were described was a little confusing, could tell if they were small or human size at times. But overall written pretty well.

A simple quest?
There are a lot of twists and turns in this seemingly simple quest to rescue Robin's brother, Liam. Who can they trust? Are fairies real? What is a Kelpie? Will the crown be activated? Things ate not what they seem.
