Synopsis:
A rogue fairy escapes her magical world and teams up with a regular boy in order to save Faery and the human world from a devastating threat.
Review:
Wayfarer might be a fairy story, but it’s mostly set in the normal world and works very hard to keep things grounded and as realistic as possible. I have to admit that I was more engaged by the relationship between Linden and Timothy than anything else that was going on.
Wayfarer is the sequel to Faery Rebels: Spell Hunter, but does stand alone.
Author RJ Anderson blogs over at LiveJournal, and she’s got links to giveaways, events, and other exciting stuff related to the series.

I agree that Linden and Timothy’s relationship drove the story. I enjoyed seeing how they became more and more committed to each other.
I’ll admit I also loved the high “save the world” stakes, especially as it related to the Oakenwyld. But maybe that’s because I’d also read Faery Rebel: Spell Hunter. In that book I came to love the poor magic-less faeries and I didn’t what them destroyed.
Above that, though, was the personal journey the characters took—their “coming of age,” especially Timothy’s.
I agree! I think Anderson is really strong in the characterization department. So I really cared about Linden and Timothy and their relationship to one another and their reactions to the dilemma they found themselves in.
Thanks for the thoughtful review and for participating in the tour! I really appreciate the support.
I wish I could’ve posted something more substantial, but my 2nd baby arrived 12 days early on the day of this tour so I wasn’t able to add to what I had already written.
No need to apologize! With a new baby I’m amazed you were able to do anything at all!
Congratulations on your new little one!
