Spell Hunter by RJ Anderson, reviewed by K Bird Lincoln
4 of 5 stars
Bryony/Knife is a young fairy of the Oak who longs to explore outside her tree-defined world despite the Queen's edict and the fear of crows and humans.
She proves her worth and suceeds in going outside, only to meet a human, Paul, and embroil herself in an illicit relationship that nonetheless seems to be making things better in the Oak where other fairies are going into a coma-like "Silence" and noone has produced an original dress or painting or song in living memory.
A little bit of romance, a plucky youngster out to prove her strength, questioning authority, and likable characters.
Very nicely done.
This Book's Food Rating: Cinnamon rolls, for a basic, comforting sweetness in all it's layers.
