2.5 starsIt was fine, but not one that I enjoyed, per se, unlike most of her other books. It was fine, it was good. Just not great. Oberon steals Tamisin and brings her to his court because he believes she is his daughter. Only she isn't. The other fairies there hate her and Dasmas wants to make her fall in love with him to curry favor with Oberon. But then Oberon and Titania are going to go to war, so with the help of other fey creatures like ogresses and brownies and nymphs, Tamisin is able to prevent calamity, along with the aid of Jak and some old friends. For me, not too compelling or humorous.Also, where is Lurinda? Is she the one messing with the gates? So, a third one as well? *sigh* I don't think this book is for me.Three years between a book and its sequel is a long time, so I don't remember much about Wings than there was a girl who finds out she was adopted and really the daughter of fairy royalty - oh yeah, and the story had animal-goblins thrown in there too.So I start reading the sequel and find out the main character is really starting to get on my nerves, and I can't understand why she is trying so hard to pick a fight with her boyfriend Jak. And then enters Dasras and at the mention of Jak, Tamisin conveniently says, "He was my best friend, although I guess you could say he was more than that."The book visits some old as well as some new characters as Tamisin's and Jak's make their journeys through a mythical wonderland with plenty of description on the setting and an array of fairies, goblins, harpies, mermaids, and other mythical creatures.But I find myself wishing there was a bit more action. Don't get me wrong, Taminsin and Jak have plenty of adventures, mostly meeting people and overcoming whatever challenge they have with that certain creature, but the book failed to grab my attention. And I didn't myself really liking any of the characters, including our two main characters.Like I said, I just don't think this book is for me.
What do You think about Fairy Lies (2012)?
It jumped in too quick. Tamisin took by a human sized fairy who tells her someone has lied to her.

This was a great sequel to Fairy Wings but I liked Fairy Wings better.
