FIRST SENTENCE

“The Queen is dying.”

SUMMARY
from goodreads

The faeries of the Oak are dying, and it’s up to a lone faery named Linden to find a way to restore their magic.  Linden travels bravely into dangerous new territory, when she enlists the help of an unlikely friend – a human named Timothy.  Soon they discover something much worse than the Oakenfolks’s loss of magic: a potent evil that threatens the fate of all faeries.  In a fevered, desperate chase across the country, Timothy and Linden risk their lives to seek an ancient power before it’s too late to save everyone they love.

REVIEW

The Faery Rebels series is addicting.  Wayfarer takes place 15 years after Spell Hunter and the Oak is in great danger.  A dying queen leaves the faeries powerless and vulnerable. 

A tough little faery named Linden sets out to find the missing powers.  Even though Linden was only fifteen, the entire Oak was counting on her. 

A human named Timothy, who is unsure of himself, becomes Linden’s partner.  Over time, Timothy gains confidence and learns to trust the faeries.  His transformation was one of the best parts of this book. 

Linden and Timothy’s dangerous journey takes the reader all over England and Wales. There is much more action than the first book and Anderson does a wonderful job describing the setting.  It all felt so real.  I especially liked the beach scenes.  I could picture them in my mind.

The next book in this series comes out in January, 2011.  The UK title will be Arrow, but the US title has not yet been revealed.  I am looking forward to reading it.
