But I didn’t get irritated with Wings the way other faerie books sometimes annoy me. It was more realistic; Laurel
And the explanation is ingenious. Stephenie Meyer described Wings as a “remarkable debut”
and I agree with my whole heart. Wings is (with the exclusion of Shakespeare), my favorite faerie story. It’s different from the others, and not in a bad way.
Constantly surprising, brilliantly explained, and with just enough romance to give me happy warm fuzzy feelings without the mushy detail of Twilight,Wings will no doubt top the charts in the days to come.
It’s only a matter of time.
p.s. I’m hoping for a sequel, as the end was left open, but I don’t know… it seems more realistic the way it is. You who have read it, what do you think.
ETA: I’ve decided that a sequel would ruin it in my opinion. Series tend to ruin really good books usually.

ReplyDelete"I'm working on the sequel to Wings, entitled Spells. I'm so excited about this book because for the first time I will be taking readers right into Avalon! Readers will also get to see Tamani in his own environment, and to see David and Laurel together as a couple. In addition, Chelsea fans will be pleased to know that she plays a much bigger role in the sequel."

If there is truly a sequel to this, I will be the happiest person in the world! I just finished it like 20 minutes ago after starting it last night. This is seriously one of the best books I have ever read! I recommend it! Can't wait for the sequel!
ReplyDeleteHi! There definately is a sequal to Wings. It's called Spells, & is going to be released on May 26, 2010. The sequal to that will be called Enchantments, & will be released on April 8, 2011. I'm not sure about the last book, but I'm sure about the next two! Also, I would like to reccomend the book Evermore, by Alyson Noel, that & Wings are my two fave books of all time! Evermore's sequel, Blue Moon, just came out today; I'm so excited, I'm going to get it in a few minutes! 8)

I really want to know what Tamani is going to do!!!
I really want Laurel to end up with Tamini, if she chooses David it will just kill it. Tamani understands her and sounds WAY better. Besides, don't the faries live to like, 200 or something?? What will she do when David dies?? If the author makes her choose David I will cry. =(
