Relation In Favor Of Books Spells (Wings #2)
"I can't just storm in and proclaim my intentions. I can't 'steal' you away. I just have to wait and hope that, someday, you'll ask," Tamani said. "And if I don't?" Laurel said, her voice barely above a whisper. "Then I guess I'll be waiting forever." Although Laurel has come to accept her true identity as a faerie, she refuses to turn her back on her human life - and especially her boyfriend, David - to return to the faerie world. But when she is summoned to Avalon, Laurel's feelings for the charismatic faerie sentry Tamani are undeniable. She is forced to make a choice - a choice that could break her heart.Define Books As Spells (Wings #2)

I thought "Wings" was bad, but this just takes it to a whole new level. And it all started with the revelation that Eve-- yes, THAT Eve, mother of humankind for Christians and Jews-- was a faery. It's true. On page 102, during a scene in which Laurel is discussing her relationship with David with her faery friend, Katya, we have the following scene:"The look on Katya's face was one of genuine concern. She shrugged. 'It's been a long time since Avalon involved itself in human affairs. I know it'sSpells is book #2 in the Wings Series by Aprilynne Pike. I had assumed this was a trilogy since it seems like every young adult book that comes out lately is part of a trilogy but alas it's a quartet so there will be 2 more yet to be released books. Illusions comes out in May and the final book in 2012. Oh how I hate waiting for sequels. This book had a great ending. It wrapped up enough to leave me satisfied yet opened things up for something new.I think I enjoyed Spells even more than then
In the sequel to Wings, a year has passed for Laurel who found out that she was a faerie. Although she completely accepts who and what she is, she refuses to turn her back on the life that she has always known, her life with human parents and friends. This is causing a few problems in Avalon as Laurel really needs to learn what it means to be a real faerie and Tamani begins to show his true feelings. After spending the whole summer relearning her magic in Avalon, Laurel knows she cannot hide her
My Thoughts: First, I want to say I have heard a lot of good and bad reviews about this series. I have heard a lot of people say they wouldn't even attempt to read it. Sucks for them! I loved it! I read Wings in a day and started Spells the next day and read it in 2 sittings. I loved them both. I did like Spells a little more though. In Spells, we are once again introduced to Laurel, her family, her friend Chelsea, her boyfriend David, her other "friend" Tamani; who is a fairy! In Wings, Laurel
Ugh! I hate doing negative reviews! Sometimes I don't even know if I should write them or not because I just feel so bad for the author. I've Tweeted with Aprilynn a couple of times, and I think she's such a sweet person, so that makes this even harder.....however......I was really disappointed with this book. There, I said it.Even though I thought Wings was a little strange (it just sounds weird that the Faeries are plants and they keep talking about Laurel's blossom), I did actually enjoy it.
These books are fairly quick reads, yet this one took me ages. I often couldn't be bothered to pick it up, because I feel the story lacked a lot of polishing. The idea of Avalon is nice, but if you support its claims of awesomeness by putting down A Midsummer Night's Dream, Camelot, and even Eve, all without any sufficient explanation, you get me very annoyed. There are tidbits of a background, that are not built on at all and destroys the source material it so hard tries to work with.Also
My lungs are cramping, my heart is bleeding, and I think I shall faint from despair! Why oh why, Laurel!? Go away, Tam? GO AWAY TAM!? The horror!!!!! (Throwing pillows on the floor, stomping up and down, throwing fists into the air) *Tear* This is a heartbreaking, agonizing, horrible travesty! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ahghieahgnivjbhjeirhjifhhguehaioehio ARGH!!!!! I don't think I'm going to get to sleep tonight. *Sigh* Aprilynne, ... YOU MUST FIX THIS IN ILLUSIONS! YOU MUST, YOU
