Review: The Emerald Staff
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 08 7, 2011
I read the first book by this author " The Amulet: A Faedra Bennett Custodian Story". I enjoyed it enough to buy the second book, "The Emerald Staff". The Emerald Staff furthers the adventure of Faedra and Faen into the world of Azran, a fairy kingdom which is also the home for all kinds of mythical creatures. I liked the story concept and the characters who live there. There is humor and adventure. The book picks up right where the first book left off. The hero and heroine must fight and escape the murderous Redcaps. They ride a giant Valkyrie horse and travel to the land of the dragons. They come face to face with the dragon king who hates humans and tries to exterminate them on sight. They go on a quest to find the dragon's egg. Then the showdown battle between good and evil. Some of the plot is predictable. For example: I knew that the woman that the father had fallen for was the unscrupulous fairy out to kill Faedra for the amulet. It's a good read. I look forward to the continuing adventures of Faedra and Faen in Azran. For those who like to read books of magic, fairies, and dragons this is for you. It's in the same world of books as "Wizard's Ward".
