Canadian Gwen and her Irish cousin, Findabhair, have long planned a summer of backpacking around Ireland, visiting sites out of the old legends of fairy folk. Little do they know that it is the summer of the Hunter's Moon, a dangerous time for mortals who meddle with the kingdom of Faerie. One night, camping out on old ruins, Finn is kidnapped by the Faerie king, who wants her for a bride and possible sacrifice. It is up to Gwen, the more indecisive of the two, to rescue her cousin. Beautifully written, romantic, exciting, and evocative of both modern-day and mystical Ireland, this is a treat for girl fantasy readers.List Appertaining To Books The Hunter's Moon (The Chronicles of Faerie #1)

This book was really bad lmao. The last 50 pages were okay, though.Hunter's Moon went by pretty fast for me, mostly because there wasn't much going on. The cousins decide to stay inside a faerie mound, one chooses to go away with the faerie and the other chases after her thinking she was kidnapped. Along the way she meets some nice helpful people that surprisingly believe in faeries (what a coincidence). Of course there is to be a sacrifice on Hunter's Moon, as anyone who is familiar with faerie lore knows, but somehow the characters are surprised by it. I'm
Two cousins start looking for the world of faerie and they get more than they bargained for. This book is from the children's section of my library system but it is definitely for preteens and teens. What I liked about the writing was that the vocabulary was not simplified for the ages of the intended readers. It would certainly enhance the youngsters reading abilities and the story keeps the reader interested to find out just what will happen next. There is also a glossary in the back for all
This was one of my favorite modern faerie tale series back in high school. I loved that it took place in Ireland, was written by an Irish author, and included snippets of the Irish language throughout. Unfortunately, the writing style and plot did not stand up to the test of time and a reread. I found that the characters became fast friends too hastily, barely giving me any time as the reader to connect to them and to find the friendship believable. I had planned to reread the whole series in
Positives: This story is set in Ireland, so theres lots of new words. Theres a dictionary in the back of the book, though, so that definitely helps. This book was written beautifully!! It had a very magical quality to it and the author is very descriptive! It was a sweet, romantic "fairy" tale.Negatives: Although I really liked the story, it wasnt until the last 3rd of the book that I really got into it and couldnt wait to finish it. I like those books that Im drawn in from the beginning.
