Silence and Stone by Kathleen Duey
3.0
Finally--a fairy book that isn't awful. The anime-style illustrations are a nice change from cartoony ones, and the descriptions, plot and character development are decent.
Alida has been held captive in a castle room for many years (Faeries live longer than humans.) until the person bringing her food talks to her, and they plot her escape. Eventually she finds out why she was turned over to the evil Lord Dunraven.
The descriptions of her captivity, and her wish to escape (and be reunited with her family) without abandoning her new friend are vivid and touching. Sequels are set up nicely.
I'm happy to have something to recommend after "Daisy Meadows".
