I gave this book a go because i got the first 3 books of the series on an Amazon 99p thing and i liked the idea of Faerie being able to bridge through VR.

The good bit was the Faerie and VR stuff, all really well done and really enjoyable.

The not so good bit was the young adult thing, but that is irrelevant if the story is good enough and the young adults protagonists fit well within the story.

The bad bit, and why i only gave this 4 stars, is Tam's back story. I really can't see the need in making his life so utterly depressing with such a total chaos of family life. This brought nothing to the story and was, at times, a big distraction from it. It made me think of 'Ready Player One' but in that the protagonist's back story worked with the narrative, whereas in this book it detracts from it as it doesn't bring anything to the story.

So yeah, 5 out of 5 for the Faerie and VR stuff, but a big 0 out of 5 for the stuff on Tam's family life.

But well worth a read for anyone interested in folk lore and VR. Tam's family life has certainly not put me off diving straight into the second book in the series. ( )

An easy-to-read, exciting book mixing sci-fi and fantasy, where an interactive video game may open the door between our world and the fey realm.

I found the writing quite similar to The Hunger Games in that it flows very easily, encourages you to read on, and needs little thought processing time so is quick to read. I finished it in three days, and most was read in one long session.

The plot is good, but not complex, with an undercurrent of romance, as I've come to expect with YA novels. Characters are interesting enough to follow, not annoying, but did not evoke great feeling either.

I would definitely recommend this book to gamers or fairy enthusiasts. It's quick to read even if you end up disliking it. Personally I love the fact it's based on an ancient ballad. This book ends well, and though I have very much enjoyed reading it, I doubt I will be searching out the rest of the trilogy. ( )

Jennet was a character that I fell in love with instantly. She is a girl who loves video games, has a great sense of competition, and is just tough enough without being overbearing. Strong in the face of danger, Jennet is my kind of girl. I'll admit that I absolutely loved both Jennet and Tam in this story. They meshed perfectly as a duo, playing off strengths and weaknesses. Their stories were both built up beautifully alone, but it was when they came together that Feyland shined.

I had never heard the story of Tam Lin before reading Feyland, but of course I had to research it once I was finished. Sharp has taken an age old fairy story and turned it into something that pulses with new life. Ready for a confession? I'm a gamer. A total nerd who loves MMO immersion and the story lines that come along with it. However I can honestly say that even if you aren't into the video game scene, the world that Anthea Sharp builds for her characters will easily come to life for you anyway. Her writing is fluid, easy to read, and definitely something that you'll be able to get lost in.

Feyland definitely isn't hurting in the action department either. I personally think that this is one of the more perfectly paced stories that I've read lately. In fact I actually read this book straight through from beginning to end, simply because there just wasn't a good place to stop. I needed to know what happened to Jennet and Tam. That's how invested I was in their fight to save themselves, and ultimately all of humanity.

If you enjoy fantasy stories, with a bit of science fiction thrown in, this is a read to pick up! I adored it and recommend Feyland wholeheartedly. I desperately hope that there is more in store for Jennet and Tam. I can't wait!

Had some misspelled words, but overall, was a good book. ( )

A very clever mix of sci-fi and fantasy. I appreciated the unique melding of fairyland with technology. I also appreciated the character development and world building. Particularly masterful was the updating of the Tamlin mythology and the thoughtful inclusion of the poem at the end of the novel. Ms. Sharp's style is clever and captivating. I strongly recommend this to high school students. ( )
