The Fairy's Tale by F.D. Lee (Soul Sister's Book Club_Read)

The Fairy's Tale by F.D. Lee

My rating: 4  of 5 stars 
Star Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟/ 5

What is a great story, but a boundary within which, one builds hope, faces trials and emerges out of fathoms of almost doom; Victorious.. looking forward to a new beginning!

'Happily ever After!' - How many times have we heard that and how many times have we wondered about how it comes to be. how conveniently things fall into place. Well F.D. Lee puts forth a version of 'behind the scenes' to the fairytale as we know it.

Starting with a glossary of FAE and an in-depth picture that's painted of the running and goings on of the GenAm, the story takes off a bit slow. We see our main protagonist, Bea (a garden fairy), a Fae who dreams of being a Godmother, a trainee FME, struggle through to be seen and heard. Managing to survive in a desolate part of town, she takes whatever story comes to her as a 'plot watcher', trying to make her name visible to those intent on not seeing past her 'tribe'.

Q: Does she get her Chance? 

Q: Does she leave her mark?

 
Q: Will this book forever change the way we look at fairytales?

I'd recommend it. It's a totally different take on tales as we know it.

Read for - Soul Sister's Book Club

Chosen for - book Theme 'Retellings'

Highlights of the book - The play on words is amazing. Names of places, and references to events, people have been well imagined. 

Quoting:

'The Grand Reflection Station was the home of the Mirrors'

A Summary

The Story of Bea, is like every ordinary young gal, with extraordinary potential and infinite dreams. Irrespective of the kid of Fae she is, age, and form, one can easily view every emotion and situation as you would it were with humankind. This book is full of imagination, the kind that is ironically 'without a boundary', helping one paint a cinema of sorts, with a Meg Ryan cast as 'Bae'! 💗

Our Fairy does find herself in charge on one such story, by Fate/chance/Scheme/self-determination - that's open to interpretation; where she realizes what the 'System' is and what the meaning of 'Happily Ever After' truly could mean. Read the book to find out more about her adventure, while she tries to bring about a Happy ending to the story she has been assigned. Meet her Friends, her well wishers(?), her characters and a whole lot of Fae magic!!!!!!

Every character, however desolate, conniving, scary or just fiercely loyal. leaves a lasting impression. 

I'm definitely game to reading the second installment to see what new adventures Bae get's on to. 

If you like #Fantasy reads, #retellings, this might just be the book for you. It's available on Amazon/Kindle Unlimited too! 

If you do read it.. I'd request you to leave a comment on my Goodreads review  (linked above)or here on the blog. Doesn't matter if you have a totally opposite view either. I'd love to hear it!💗😉
