Wings is a new take on fairies where Laurel goes through a lot of chances and discovers her true identity. In this debut novel, Laurel has to keep the trolls away from the fairy realm, to avoid the fate that the whole fae is doomed for: a deadly war and complete destruction.
I have to say that at the beginning of the book I wasn't into it at all...but I forced myself to continue and was actually surprised to see that it got better and the story progressed quite well.
When I first started reading it, the dialogue completely sucked. The characters weren't believable, the conversation didn't feel real what so ever... Everything about the plot was plain and dreadful! Another thing that really bothered me was the fact that they fell in love almost instantly eventhough they didn't know anything about each other and their conversations weren't exactly fascinating.
Now, with that aside, there was definitely improvement throughout this book! At first I wasn't sure if I liked that the book was different from everything faery I've read or if I just thought it was weird! But as I kept reading the characters developed pretty well and some of them, like Tamani, managed to captivate me and suck me in. There were still a couple of details that I would have changed. The trolls weren't exactly amazing to read about and the fact that Laurel was a plant and a faery really got me annoyed, weirded out and confused! Therefore I think the author could have gotten a little bit more creative considering there wasn't much going on until Laurel's dad gets sick.
Wow, I didn't realize I had that many problems with this book... But I have to say that overall I actually enjoyed it! Weird, right? There were definitely some cleaver aspects about this book and as the love triangle evolved, the characters grew on me and the dialogue and overall writing got much better. The little I got to know about Avalon totally beguiled me and left me wanting more.
After the slow beginning, this book surpassed my expectations towards the end!
I'd still recommend it as it is surely a refreshing new take on fairies! Just keep in mind that the beginning is pretty boring and slow, eventhough the pace picks up later on. Wings revealed to be a cute introduction to what I hope is a great series.
