Faye and the Ether by Nicole Bailey
3.0
"Faye and the Ether" is a wonderful, magical journey with a great cast of characters, each and every one with his/her own personality, fears and hopes.
Faye is a strong heroine, even through her fears and doubts. I loved to see her grow and find her place among a group of different individuals. She has many things to deal with but handles them in her own unique way. I greatly enjoyed following her through this book.
I also loved all the other characters, especially Daron and Alec, but also Telanes with his kind, friendly way. It really speaks for the book that the characters are so diverse and not fixed on just good and bad. They all have their faults, but grow through this journey.
The plot is catching, full of twist and turns, which give a good pace. I finished the book within two days, which shows how deeply I was involved in the story.
There's only one thing, which let's me give this book three stars instead of the four it normally deserves. There are quite a few mistakes in the text. Sometimes it's just a word written wrong or a missing punctuation mark (or one set at the wrong place). But more than once a whole sentence sounded off, as if the words got tumbled around. I had to reread some passages twice to get the meaning. That didn't add to the reading flow.
I hope this can be edited before the book releases, cause its really the only bad thing about this very enjoyable story.
Otherwise I recommend this book to fans of young adult fantasy, who enjoy a dip into mythology with a nice, special twist.
