Really enjoyed this quartet, well written, good flow - a real page turner. I requested the quartet as I'd read the first in the series and I wasn't disappointed.
Fantasy is not what I usually read but this box set of novellas was a nice exception.
All the stories are really enjoyable and once I started to read it I devoured it in a few hours.
I liked how every novella talks about one of the Miller ladies but they are also all connected.
This set is definitely for adult lovers of fairy tales which are full of people hoping and magically achieving their dreams! This is the complete collection of four novellas concerning the wishes made by the Widow Maythorn Miller and her three daughters after they were granted them for saving a faerie baby. Each novella relates what happens when the four women are granted their wish on their birthday. The stories are a delightful mix of history and romance in a fantasy setting, each linking to subsequent stories. The stories explore the different characters, highlighting how the different personalities impact on the nature of their wishes, their actions and reactions though in every story the main character meets her true love. I don’t want to give spoilers away so won’t go into details about individual novellas, suffice it to say they are easy quick reads, with great characters, a developing plot line and delightful to escape into!
I requested and received a copy of this book via NetGalley without any obligation. This is my honest opinion after reading the stories
The Fey Quartet by Emily Larkin is the complete collection of the Fey Quartet series of novellas including
Maythorn’s Wish, Hazel’s Promise, Ivy’s Choice and Larkspur’s Quest. The Fey Quartet series is also a prequel series to the Baleful Godmother series by Emily Larkin. The books are fantasy based reads with faeries and magic involved but also a mix of romance in each story along with a historical setting.
This series starts out introducing us to the Widow Maythorn Miller who comes across a faerie baby in danger and saves it’s life. She and her daughters take care of the child so when Maythorn seeks out the faerie mother she convinces her that she owes the family wishes for their kindness in rescuing her child. The mother and each of the females in their family will be given one wish upon their birthdays with each of the books telling their individual stories.
I’ve really enjoyed reading the books in this series with it’s mix of historical, fantasy and romance. Each of the books in this collection are novella length but the author manages to tell the story of each of the characters letting you get to know them and their world very nicely even in the shorter length. There was only one instance in the four stories that I felt a little something seemed to be missing from that story but overall a wonderful job by the author creating an interesting world and story with this collection.
I received a copy from the publisher via NetGalley.
This book was not to my liking so therefore I will not post a review.
The Fey Quartet is a series of novellas, each about a member of a family encompassing a mother and her three daughters, who find adventure and love as a consequence of faerie magic. These aren't your typical faeries either. We're talking about the kind that manipulate and play games with mortals who have the poor luck of coming across these creatures. This was a quick read for me, primarily due to the writing style. I enjoyed the pace. Like others who have read the series, I had my favorite heroines and heroes. There were some stories that were more interesting to me than others, but I still think a reader would get a lot out of reading all of them considering how they are all connected. I wanted more insight into the faeries themselves and why they feel the way they do toward mortals. There were instances of characters falling in love too quickly which tends to make me want to skip pages. Overall, it was a nice, leisurely read.
What an awesome series! I Couldn't put it down & read it In one evening! A marvellous take on the fae & their wishes, be careful what you wish for!!!
This is four novellas combined into one book. It is a prequel to the The Baleful Godmother series.
One widow ~ three daughters ~ four heroes ~ and some very dangerous Faeries.
I loved this book - very easy to read. It shows the love between mothers and daughters and sisters. It's definitely a book a I would recommend and I'm now off to order The Baleful Godmother series of books!
