To be a Fae Legend by Tricia Copeland
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Queen Titania returns in this third instalment of this series and as the sole monarch of her realm, she has had a lot on her plate for the last ten months, but it seems that the challenges she always seems to be facing are not stopping any time soon. Her first hurdle she has to cross is making appearances at important events across the kingdom, however, there is an extra stress added when she is unaware of some traditions and has to balance time with her family and time with the other heads of the surrounding kingdoms, not to mention that her father has been approached by some of them with offers of courtship and marriage, much to her horror!

Meanwhile, she returns to her day to day life running her kingdom, however, nothing quite goes to plan and she has a request for her presence by the those she has helped in the past and yet again, they are asking for her assistance. The suitors whom approached her father come to her abode during the festivities and begin the negotiations, one of which she flats out refuses, however, she does agree to the rest and now has to arrange visits between the kingdoms on top of her preparations for the seasons as they pass through, she does have help from her father to prepare some history and information about each suitor so that she can have some knowledge of their kingdoms, as well as the suitors themselves.

As the tasks pile on to Titania’s shoulders, her research into solutions for the many issues she is facing has led her to an ancient prophecy about one who will defeat all of the evil in the land and as she is reading into it more, she begins to realise that she is possibly the fae it is describing, there is one problem with it though, her magical abilities are still not manifesting and it is another thing to add to her list of worries. As the suitors dogging her every step, requests from all around her for assistance and generally running her kingdom, Titania is both physically and emotionally battling through her responsibilities, but as the danger grows, she is determined not to let it all bury her, but will she be able to remain stoic as she struggles to maintain control of her life and her kingdom? This is a story which is full of twists and turns, as well as showcasing the pressures of coming of age, while shouldering the responsibilities of someone much older and thus proving her worth to those around her, in this complex and engaging story.
