To be a Fae Queen (Realm Chronicles Book 1) by Tricia Copeland – Review by Vanessa Watts

To be a Fae Queen by Tricia Copeland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have recently found a love of mythical/magical stories and so when I came across this one with the amazing cover art I knew I had to give it a try. This is a beautiful coming of age story of a fae princess named titania.

The book starts off right in the action with finding out the fae kingdom is under attack and King Oberon dismissing Titania to keep her safe as she is his only surviving child after losing his sons in the war. Eager to prove herself, Titania takes some carefully calculated risks and ends up securing a little bit of peace from their current enemy. After having proven herself King Oberon decides to give up his reign to Titania even though she is only 15 making her not only the only female ruler but also the youngest. However, her reign might be short lived as it is being challenged by those that have served her family for generations. Titania must overcome many challenges and stereotypes during her reign. Is she the best ruler for her kingdom or should she find another to take her place? What about this mystical power that her mother and Titania possess and what does it have to do with her family?

This is such a detailed storyline and possesses amazing descriptive scenes that make you feel as if you are right there in the book with Titania as she chooses the path not only best for her family but also for her fae kingdom. For thoses like myself, who have daughters, this book struck a chord and added a level of emotion as I can picture the things my girls may have to overcome simply for being female. It is amazing to see such a well written female led book that I am so excited to read the second book in this series and find out what is next for Titania.
