I'm giving this four stars only because of a couple of punctuation boo-boos, which you pretty much find in every single book these days...but I probably will read this again, and will find Mires' other books for sure!The story and characters were so much fun. A lovely twist with secrets revealed at the perfect moment, lots of action, humor and angst. Well-done portrayal of the fantasy world.A young woman grows up feeling like she's out of place, and when she learns that she truly was raised "out of place" the pieces of her life start to fall into place. Except she's accidentally engaged to a boy she only met once when she was a little girl, and her escort to the wedding is a hunk of a hunk of a hunk...what's a princess to do?We can't get away from typecasting and type-theme, but the way the stories unfold with surprises about the characters is what keeps Fairies and Fantasies from becoming a cliché.Those who enjoy romantic fantasy with ties to our world will have a hard time putting this book down.
