After reading a 500-page nonfiction tome, I was ready for light-hearted entertainment. The Faerie Ring by Kiki Hamilton delivered.
A magic ring is stolen, breaking the truce between humans and fairies, setting the stage for war. Very few humans even believe in fairies, let alone know about the truce, yet some fairies will kill humans to recover power and land previously lost.
Tiki, orphaned then forced to beg and steal, is swiping bread for her little family when the magic ring literally drops into her lap. At first she only wants to pawn it before hearing its story and becoming a player in the battle for the ring.
The Faerie Ring is a fun read with likeable characters. Even the “bad guys” do some good things, and we see why they line up on the other side. The book wraps up the story, but also leaves enough open threads to allow for a sequel.
Published as a “Tor Teen” imprint, you will enjoy it, no matter what age you are, if you believe in fairies.
