WINGS is a story about an ordinary girl who discovers she is a faerie and is sent to guard the gateway to Avalon in the mortal world. When she is thrust into the midst of a centuries old battle between faeries and trolls, she's torn between a mortal and a faerie love, as well as her loyalties to both worlds.



This book is right up my alley...my fantasy alley. The author, Aprilynne, is an intelligent woman who is full of spice, and has an absolute love for writing and reading. It really shows when she is talking about her upcoming book which is the first in a series of books. She wrote this first book in three months! That amazes me!!



Here is a direct quote from Aprilynne's blog where she talked about how she wrote Wings and the sequel:



"When I wrote WINGS, I did write it in a flurry . . . actually, I wrote the sequel in a bit of a flurry too. Three months of long days seems to work well for me. I found a story I was passionate about (that's the ingredient that NO book should be without"

WINGS is a creative take on Fairies that fantasy lovers will latch on to. I look forward to reading the other books in this series.
