Bones of Faerie
Synopsis
The world has changed after the war between Faerie and humans. Plants are bloodthirsty, cities were demolished, and magic has seeped into the next generation. Liza has just suffered the loss of her baby sister, who was left on the hillside when she was born with the telltale magic taint, when her mother runs off. Liza, noticing a stirring of magic around her runs away from town and from safety in her single desire to do no harm with the magic she seems to be infected with. Accompanied by her friend Matthew, she goes on a journey to save her mother and discover what magic has in store for her.
Review
This book really reminded me of The Giver
by Lois Lowry. There is a similarity in inclusiveness of the community and the fears about going "outside." I really enjoyed this book, and had a hard time putting it down. It is fairly short, 256 pages, and the story does raise many more questions than it answers. You certainly finish the book wishing for a companion novel or a continuation of Liza's story.My Recommendation
I really enjoyed this book, though I was a bit traumatized by the death of one of the characters. I'd say go out and buy this one. 5/5 - Worth the Full Price
