I wish I'd discovered this book decades ago (even though I mightn't have had the context to enjoy it as much as I did). It has everything that I like best about the Narnia Chronicles, George MacDonald's books, J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.It is a high fantasy story with Oberon, King of the Fairies (the Empire), Titania Mirrowmorn, the Fairie Queen, and Puck and his hobgoblins (the Rebel Alliance) in exile on earth.
I love how the author appears in his own novel as a professor of folklore, studying the muddied record of the Civil War in Fairie and the subsequent Exile.
I love Appendix A where the author clears up his definition of what a "hobgoblin" is by discussing Professor Tolkien's inconsistent reference to it in The Hobbit (which, the author states, Tolkien later recanted).
Rather than read just another book, I'm moving onto the 2nd book in this trilogy as fast as I can get it downloaded into my Kindle app.

Her Unwelcome Inheritance Fayborn J Aleksandr Wootton 9781491291009 Books Reviews
I am absolutely NOT a fantasy lover (no offense to anyone who is, I just always prefer nonfiction). A friend recommended the book to me with raving reviews, and I had just finished another book, wondering what to read next. Though hesitant to reach out into the genre, I decided to give it a chance. I am SO glad that I did. Wootton is truly a literary master - the visuals he creates are so delicious, the book is worth the read for those alone. The story is such a page-turner, I could put it down. I found myself longing for any break in the day to get my hands on my and resume reading. I have already ordered the next volume, and can't wait to get started. I would urge everyone to give this book a chance - you won't be disappointed!
I have been following Mr. Wootton's work for over half my life; given that fact, it took me an abysmally long time to order and read his book. Once I had it in my hands, I could not put it down - and progressed straight on to the sequel. This first novel does not disappoint; the story is engaging and the writing excellent. I very much enjoyed the literary references; knowing the author's tremendous love of literature, I'm quite certain there were references I missed. I found it easy to sympathize with Petra and am very eager for installment #3 of her story!
I found this modern day fairytale thoroughly enjoyable. Delightfully set in small towns and a college, it provided a more tangible, closer-to-home Fairytale feel to it and even, I'll admit, left me looking around me for glimpses of Faery! The characters are great and I enjoyed the pace at which the plot unfolds. Neat retakes on some familiar characters too. I loved seeing the white witch from Narnia in a different light - very creative.
This short book reads fast and leaves you hungry for more from Mr. Wootton. Can we say sequel??
Definitely worth the read. I highly recommend!
This story pulled me right in.
It's getting tough to find good fantasy books, books that are original but still have that delicious thrill,that remind you of why you started reading fantasy in the first place. This is one of them. It is original and surprising, but it also draws on so many of my favourites - The Narnia books, Dracula, Wizard of Earthsea, A Midsummer Nights Dream, Alice in Wonderland, The Wind in the Willows, The Hobbit, the Greek myths and many more. The writer's love and respect for those stories breathes life into his own work.
We immediately find out that the heroine - Petra - has been born into an unusual situation. Her mother has a dark secret that she is so desperate to hide that she is willing to burn her own house down to fake her death. There are vampires on her trail, it seems. A war in Faery could be the root of it all, but Petra is reluctant to acknowledge that it has anything to do with her.
Petra is a great character, warm and convincing, with a stubborn streak and a loving heart. J. Aleksandr Wootton has a light touch, creating real living people with the minimum of fuss. I particularly liked Petra's aunt, the no nonsense mechanic ).
Now my only problem is that I cant wait for the sequel!
I have to say this review may have been much different if I hadn't been given the updated version. The original ARC was a little confusing at first but the finished product been sold on is well edited making it far easier to get through. The story itself is very interesting. I personally don't know too much about Fairy legends, just what I've learned from reading Patricia Briggs novels, so for me there was a lot of information to take in. We follow a college bound girl who ends out her mother has been on the run from a crazed boyfriend since before her birth. Worse than that everyone around her suddenly believes in magic and talking animals! The characters were well done but there were a fair number of them for you to follow.
About halfway through the novel seems to really pick up pace. This may be because I was able to understand the minor characters better by this point, I can't be fully sure. Overall I enjoyed the read and probably learned a few things along the way. For someone who usually sticks to werewolves and serial killers, the Fae is a bit out of my usual realm. I have a feeling if your really into fairies and there legends you will find the reading easier than I did.
I will warn you that the ending is a cliffhanger. Which I did ask the author about in my interview with him, as well as a few other interesting questions. So if you want to know more about what built this story be sure to check out my interview.
