Review - Elfland by Freda Warrington

Although Elfland begins slowly, it quickly expands outward in both scope and character development. The story follows two families, both Aetherial (Fay) living on Earth. But the gates that allow the Aetherial to travel between the world of men and the world of Fay are closed. The Gatekeeper senses a threat to the existence of both worlds and refused to allow anyone through. The consequences and the roots of that decision drive the book.

I enjoyed the book tremendously, particularly the second half. Well developed characters, an inventive view of fairies, and what the world might be like of they lived among us.

The plot is convoluted enough to hold your interest and the characters are drawn well and are conflicted and confusing enough for you to want to learn their fates.

Well written, exciting, recommended!  )
