In the fifth volume of the Faireground
series, Soli and Lucy have returned from Faerieland, but only for as long as it
takes to tell their families of their adventures and discoveries before
returning to continue the battle for the kingdom. Lucy becomes seriously ill and Soli must deal
with an emissary from the Crows, who intend to wage war against her.
Who can Soli trust? What powers and allies does she have on her side? Is there a cure for Lucy? What is the queen’s true nature? These questions remain unanswered, and readers will clamor for the next installment in the series.
While the story stands on its own, it is also very obviously a volume that provides a bridge between two other books. Odessa Sawyer’s moody, atmospheric illustrations deserve special note, as these raise an average fantasy tale to a higher level, simply through the artwork’s evocative pictures.
