ALA Booklist

In this sequel to The Faerie Path (2007), book 1 in the series by the same name, Tania now accepts her role as princess of the Faerie Realm, and returns to the mortal world with soul  mate Edric to find long-lost Queen Titania. As new and returning foes make trouble for the pair, Tania also faces conflicts with parents and friends unaware of her hidden identity. Titania's whereabouts are disappointingly clear, and the bad guys are put off far too neatly. Tania and Edric remain an appealing duo, however, and the unresolved ending will ensure an audience for the next installment.

Horn Book

Formerly ordinary teenager Tania has accepted that she is truly a princess of Faerie. Reconciling the difficulties of her human life (appeasing her frightened, angry parents) with her new life (fleeing from enchanted warriors) complicates the search for her Faerie mother, Titania. This installment consists of standard but enjoyable fantasy material and romance, progressing straightforwardly through a familiar story arc.

Kirkus Reviews

When last seen in The Faerie Path (February 2007), Anita Palmer had been whisked away from her home in modern-day London to the world of Faerie. There she discovered she was really a faerie princess and just barely escaped a dastardly plot by Lord Drake to trick her into marriage so he could usurp her father, King Oberon. Anita has now returned to London, accompanied by her true love Edric, to search for her missing faerie mother. Reunited with her human parents, with whom she cannot share the truth of her heritage, she feels both at home and out of place. Flashes of her previous lives haunt her, as do glimpses of Lord Drake reaching out to drag her into his world of exile and set free a doom of unknown proportion on all she loves—in both her worlds. When three of her faerie sisters are thrust into London, followed by evil Gray Knights, it becomes clear that she has to take steps not only to find her mother, but to close the seam between the realms. Once closed, which side will she be on? The story picks up nicely where it left off, and moves readily along with plenty of realistic touches that will appeal to the adolescent girls of today. And the cliffhanger ending will leave readers looking eagerly forward for the next volume in the series. (Fiction. 12-15)

Voice of Youth Advocates

At sixteen, Anita learns that she is actually Tania, seventh daughter of the Royal House of Faerie, who has been missing for 500 years. Before that, she was happily living in London like a normal teenager. In this sequel to The Faerie Path (Eos/HarperCollins, 2007/VOYA April 2007), Tania returns to the Mortal World after saving Faerie from her evil former fiancÚ, Gabriel Drake. Edric, her Faerie boyfriend, has come along to help find her mother, Queen Titania, who has been missing ever since Tania's disappearance. The minute she gets "home," after disappearing without explanation for three days, Tania's mortal parents ground her and ban her from seeing Edric. Tania cannot tell them about Faerie, so they have explosive fights after which Tania storms off to her room and slips into Faerie to spend time with her sisters. That conflict takes a backseat, however, when Drake escapes from exile into the Mortal World, bringing along his terrifying demon knights. The writing certainly can be awkward, twists in the story line are not always clearly explained or are too coincidental, and a cliffhanger ending keeps the story from feeling complete in itself. But the pace is action-packed, and fans will enjoy the daring rescue of the Queen, the relationship between Tania and Edric, the showdown with Drake, and Tania's sincere struggle to appease her mortal parents while also being true to her Faerie family. Although the covers and print size suggest a younger audience, this trilogy is more appropriate for and appealing to those twelve and up.-Angela Carstensen.
