![]() ![]() ![]() I kept picking it back up not because I HAD to, but because I wanted to. That obsessive, can’t-read-fast-enough feeling I associate with books like The Hunger Games or Twilight is entirely absent here. It’s not a particularly fast-paced book (although there is one pretty high-speed section towards the end), but generally it feels just so relaxed and beautiful. I really don’t want to give away more than that, because the fun is in watching it unfold for yourself. Laurel, the main girl, discovers she’s a faerie and watching her discover what she’s really like, what being a faerie entails, is just fascinating (I love that kind of thing). I think I worry that the whole book will be caught up in lots of dull faerie lore and weird magic. I take that back – the idea of faeries is always a little off putting to me. It’s a faerie story, and that’s really all you need to know. This is one of those books, like Twilight, where I think the official blurb gives away more of the story than I wanted to know. It was so lovely and spunky I loved virtually every word. 8 of 10: I haven’t heard a lot of buzz about Wings, despite it hitting the NYT bestseller list this weekend but I think it deserves more publicity. ![]()
