Trouble stirs between nations and rebellion threatens Faeraven.

When Kai returns with the supposed DawnKing, Lof Shraen Elcon cannot trust that the Elder youth truly is the prophesied deliverer. Driven to prove himself, Elcon banishes the boy and embarks on a peace-keeping campaign into the Elder lands, where he falls in love with an Elder princess betrothed to another.

Sometimes the deliverance of a nation comes only through the humility of one.

Declaring his love would shame the nations, but Elcon is torn. As war approaches, Elcon’s choices lead him on a journey of discovery that will either settle the lands or leave them mired in conflict. Can his kingdom ever be united, or will the consequences of his decisions forever tear asunder the fabric of Faeraven?

My Review

WayFarer is book two in Janalyn Voigt’s Tales of Faeraven series. Because the story definitely builds on book one DawnSinger I highly recommend reading it first. Voigt does include a synopsis of DawnSinger which is very helpful if it has been a while since you read it. Voigt has done a good job of building a Fantasy world and keeping it consistent. She created many words and things that are unique to her world. The 12-page glossary at the end is extremely helpful for deciphering the unfamiliar words and terms, although it is cumbersome to have so many unfamiliar words. Besides the alternate world, Voigt includes many characteristics of a good fantasy. There is an epic journey or two and quite a bit of adventure. “Soul Touch” provides a magical element. Wingabeasts and other animals not present in our world fulfill the mythical creatures aspect of a good fantasy. Overall I enjoyed the fantasy aspect.

Christians will see parallels between the story in WayFarer and stories in the Bible, yet it is done in such a way that those not familiar with the Bible will view it as a good story. I cannot wait for book three in the series which is due out later this year. 

 

I will probably be adding this series to my K-12 Christian school library. It is appropriate for middle school and up.

I want to thank Prism Book Tours for the complimentary copy of WayFarer. This is my honest review.

The High Queen is dying…

At the royal summons, Shae mounts a wingabeast and soars through the air to the high hold of Faeraven, where all is not as it seems. Visions warn her of danger, and a dark soul touches hers in the night. When she encounters an attractive but disturbing musician, her wayward heart awakens.

But then there is Kai, a guardian of Faeraven and of Shae. Secrets bind him to her, and her safety lies at the center of every decision he makes.

On a desperate journey fraught with peril and the unknown, they battle warlike garns, waevens, ferocious raptors, and the wraiths of their own regrets. Yet, they must endure the campaign long enough to release the DawnKing and the salvation he offers into a divided land. To prevail, each must learn that sometimes victory comes only through surrender.
