To be a Fae Queen by Tricia Copeland – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

To be a Fae Queen (Realm Chronicles #1)To be a Fae Queen by Tricia Copeland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

To Be a Fae Queen is the first book in Tricia Copeland’s exciting new Realm Chronicles series. As the title suggests, it’s a fantasy series set in a vibrant, crystal-studded world of faeries and monsters.
Titania, the protagonist, has been kept protected (over-protected, in her mind) since her older brothers died leaving her the only heir to the throne. She hates being cooped up, particularly when her country is threatened and she knows she could be doing something to help. She’s very practical, coming quickly to solutions and confident in her decisions.
My favourite character is Alfreda, whose primary concern seems to be making sure everyone has enough to eat. She’s very down-to-earth and grounds Titania (in one of my favourite moments, Alfreda intervenes to stop Titania setting out still wearing her nightgown!).
This is an enjoyable, magical book and I look forward to reading more of the series! It gets a full five stars from me. I would recommend it to teenagers who enjoy fantasy and adventure, particularly those who love fairy stories and want something more grown up but just as magical!
