The Queen's Choice isn't my usual read, I tend not to delve into Fantasy books featuring faires, or Fae as they're known, but I quite enjoyed this one. More adventure than fantasy, it tells the story of Anya who although lives within the hidden forest, she wants nothing more than to travel to human settlements, much to the annoyance of her father who wants to keep her safe and her beloved Davic, who is happy to settle in the Redwood and begin their lives together. He's just one of many who choose to hide from the real world, with Hunters looking for the highly sort after Fae wings.
But the storyline dragged on a little too much, with several chapters falling flat which probably could have been condensed. At five hundred pages, unless you dint mind lengthy sagas, it might become a little tedious. Overall, I really enjoyed it, but it lacked emotion. I felt disconnected to the majority of the characters, apart from mortal Shea who Anya befriends. Although she's more drunken harlot than responsible travelling companion at times. If you're looking for an epic fantasy, this isn't it, but a slow world building action adventure, then give it a go.
