So Magic Unbound is the YA tale of a half-fae girl tasked with rescuing the Tree of Life and saving all the fae.  All she has to do is put on an amulet to remember all her past lives and figure out some cryptic messages left by a long dead druid.Total cake walk …What I liked:All in all, I really liked the idea behind the story.  Even when the author took Arthurian Legends and shifted them around to fit their story ideas.  Especially since she managed to explain the differences between “history” and legend well.What I didn’t love:That being said, there execution of the story wasn’t exactly where I would’ve liked it.  It’s not a bad story, by any stretch of the imagination, it was just that there wasn’t as much detail as I would’ve liked, and at points the story was a bit too obvious for my liking.  Also, near the beginning, if I had to read the name “Lisbet” one more time I was going to punch someone in the throat.Am I going to read the next book in the series?Heck yes.  And I know that this isn’t part of the new PT review format, but I feel like it gives a better feel for if the cons outweighed the pros.  Which they do not.Who would I recommend this book to?People (teenagers and up) looking for a different spin on the whole YA fae thing.
