Frewin Jones definately had some good ideas here but her execution left somewhat to be desired. Her suggestion that the two worlds existed side by side and almost overlapped in areas was intriguing. It explained how the two worlds could exist in the same space without sounding far-fetched. When she brought this up I expected a full, detailed explanation. Instead she brushed over it leaving me wondering if she understood her own theory. The idea of the Amber Prision was truely genious. I loved the idea that people could be trapped in amber like bugs. However, once again her description of this wasn't overly detailed and she never once made this connection. Among other things her dialogue was weak and problems were far to easily resolved. Over all I felt that Jones just fell short. She had all the elements of the next great teen fantasy but just didn't make it. However, young girls will probably love this and parents will appreciate that its clean.Show Less

Reviewed by The Compulsive Reader for TeensReadToo.com
Anita Palmer believes that she is an ordinary girl, simply excited for her sixteenth birthday, and the plans her new boyfriend has made. She thinks nothing of the strange dreams she's been having. But when her birthday ends in disaster and the dreams get more and more vivid, Anita begins to feel afraid.
Then she is swept into an entirely different world, the world in which her boyfriend--and Anita--really belong. Here, she is Tania, the seventh princess of Faerie.
But all isn't joyful. The kingdom is mourning the death of her mother, and her eldest sister refuses to see her. And more importantly, there is a traitor in their midst...
THE FAERIE PATH was very charming and yet mysterious at the same time. The writing has a slight tendency to bog the reader down every once in a while, but the numerous plot twists keep the book from getting boring. Full of intriguing details and breathtaking descriptions, the story reads like your favorite fairy tale, and the surprise ending will leave you waiting in anticipation for the sequel, THE LOST QUEEN.2 out of 2 people found this review helpful.

One of those books!
Amazing! I found the book to be one that you can easily get lost in the pages. I was so into it I was surprised I finished it so fast. The beginning of the book (first chapter or two) may seem just ok&& iffy iffy and you might want to put it down but keep reading! It turns into a wonderful book!! I thought it was just going to be good but it was more than good it was OUTSTANDING! =D

I love the World of Faerie
I really liked ¿The Faerie Path,¿ by Frewin Jones. This book is very well written, with a nice balance between beautiful descriptions and fast paced action. The world of Faerie, which Tania visits in this book, is multi-layered and pretty believable. In fact, I wish I lived there myself! Another thing that made this book interesting was how each of the Faerie princesses has a different personality and talents. Frewin Jones did a good job describing Tania¿s emotions. It was easy to figure out what she was feeling and why. I liked the contrast between the beautiful world of Faerie and the regular ¿mortal¿ world. It showed how hard it was for Tania when she found out that she now has two homes, two loves, and two mothers and fathers. Even though ¿The Faerie Path¿ is, obviously, about fairies its not the ¿little kid book¿ you might expect it to be. I would recommend this book to any girl who loves fantasy. (like me!)

Amazing!
This book is amazing and there is no other way to put it. It is one of my favorites and I am actually reading it now because I just got the other books and I am refreshing my memory. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys mythical things and being sucked into a book as if you are the main charcter.Keep writing for us Frewin Jones

Love or Betrayal
The Faerie Path was a sensational story that kept us reading all night long. The characters were so realistic and the setting was described so well that we felt as if we were in the book itself. This book is full of twists and turns: there is a surprise at every corner. If you¿re looking for a book with romance, betrayal, and a fantastic ending preparing for a promising sequel this is the book for you!

SUPERB!
This book is a marvelous, page-turning, on-the-edge-of-your-seat, wondering-what's-going- to-happen-next book. It definitely calls for all fantasy lovers. I think it's more of a girly book, though. Without a doubt, I recommend it!

Brilliant Work, Well Written, Must Read!
I agree with the majority of the reviewers so far! I'm into Fantasy & Fairy books. I've read others that were lets say just horrible. This book Faerie Path caught my eye with the title. I loved every minute of it. Because it was so good I just bought the other 2 books in the Series from this site. Read it and You'll be hooked!

Unimpressive
I was drawn in by the cover and fell victim to the classic cliche about not judging a book by its cover. The cover art is undeniably pretty. The book, on the other hand, is not. Although the plot line was decently original, many ideas in the series were not: fairies being harmed by metal, seven children (the seventh being special, of course), a gary stu hero to be in love with the mary sue heroine - and more. The romance was extremely ordinary to the point of being stereotypical. All main characters were far too good looking and far too good. Much of the more archaic language used by some characters felt strained and its usage seemed vaguely out of place. I was annoyed with the protagonist after about 10 pages. Maybe worth a read for your curiosity, but check it out of a library - don't waste your money.

typical but delightful
this book is a typical fantasy of faerie, maybe a little bit slow at the beginning, but I couldn't put it down at the end which was filled with surprising turns and almost all my predictions turned out differently.
