Ilustration In Pursuance Of Books Shadowspell (Faeriewalker #2)
On top of spending most of her time in a bunker-like safe house and having her dates hijacked by a formidable Fae bodyguard, Faeriewalker Dana Hathaway is in for some more bad news: the Erlking and his pack of murderous minions known as the Wild Hunt have descended upon Avalon. With his homicidal appetite and immortal powers, the Erlking have long been the nightmare of the Fae realm.A fragile treaty with the Faerie Queen, sealed with a mysterious spell, is the one thing that keeps him from hunting unchecked in Avalon, the only place on Earth where humans and Fae live together. Which means Dana’s in trouble, since it’s common knowledge that the Faerie Queen wants her—and her rare Faeriewalker powers—dead. The smoldering, sexy Erlking’s got his sights set on Dana, but does he only seek to kill her, or does he have something much darker in mind?

(4.5stars)Dana Hathaway doesn't have your typical teenage problems, see both Queens of the Seelie and Unseelie courts want her dead, but a new threat arrives in Avalon. Murderous men who are called The Wild Hunt and there leader Erlking has his eyes on Dana. He wants her Faeriewalker powers since she as the ability to travel from Faerie to the mortal world and also being able to bring magic into the world and technology into Faerie. But it's not just her powers he wants, he's also afterThere is something really kind of terrifying about this book and its main motif as presented to the reader. In fact, the more I think about it, the more I get creeped out. Creeped out in a way that makes me nervous. Because the main theme of this book, without a doubt, is patriarchy. And NOT in the subversive way, and not in the demonstrative way which might even be slightly relevant to the plot. No, the theme is patriarchy in the form of being obedient, subservient, and dependent. Also, theres
Ok, so let me start by saying this series to me is a bit strange. And because of that, you often have to just accept what Jenna Black tells you about this world, no matter how weird or odd it is. Kinda like how Stephenie Meyer told us all to accept the fact that Bella did not want to marry Edward, but she still was willing to give up immortality and be with him forever. Makes zero sense, right? But you, the reader, are just supposed to accept it, otherwise, stop reading.On to the review:We find
**Review** 16 year old Dana Hathaway is known as a Faeriewalker. She's a rare individual who can travel freely between the mortal and Faery worlds. She can bring magic to the mortal world, and technology to the faerie world. The Queens of both the Unseelie and Seelie lands have made it a point of wanting to see her dead because she carries so much power within her. He father, Seamus, has her under 24 hour guard, but, that doesn't stop her from constantly causing trouble for herself and others.
Genre: Urban Fantasy YA Thoughts: With this latest entry into the world of the Faeriewalker series, I can say Black is making a solid come back from the slightly disappointing 3/5 rating I gave her. Her YA books are such a treat because there are some teen issues to deal with, but its not all about saving the world and then finding a date for prom. Thats way Ive been practically bouncing for joy for this series to continue. The plot has the depth that most adult Urban Fantasy books have, which I
I don't know if it's hindsight being 20/20, but I'm pretty sure I was never that stupid when I was a teenager. Sure, I was never a fairywalker as a teenager, but I like to think that if I were, I wouldn't have done anything so outrageously stupid as to make a deal with an immortal being involving giving up my virginity. I have an ancient fae father who can't possibly know what I'm going through. I mean, sure, he lost a son to the Erlking, but I LOST THE GUY I'M CRUSHING ON. WAH!And then
I will admit that I skimmed through some of this book, something I rarely do. I just got tired of the same old plot as a lot of other fairy type books I guess, or maybe I wasn't in the mood to get into it. My main issue with this series is that I don't like Ethan, and so far he's the main love interest. I also thought that Dana did a lot of really spectacularly stupid things. Not sure if I'll bother reading the next one.
