In fact, the romance is crucial to the story and Wicked Lovely is as much an Aislinn and Seth love story as a faerie tale. The 17 year old Aislinn is a strong character, with courage and determination, but also unafraid to show her vulnerability and need for support from her friend-turned-boyfriend. Curious and terrified, repulsed and attracted Aislinn has to decide on the best course of action and the decision becomes more difficult as she learns that not only her fate, but that of the whole human world lies in the balance. But now they seem to be stalking her, and a beautiful and terrifying Keenan, the King of the Summer Court wants Aislinn to become his Queen.
So far, Aislinn avoided detection and somehow survived, especially as her best friend Seth lives in a converted railway carriage and faeries can't abide steel. Melissa Marr has written up what could be a day-dream or a wish-fulfilment fantasy of a teenage girl with aspirations to cool and sophistication, and made it into exciting if unchallenging urban fairy tale that makes a tasty summer read for teens and those grownups that prefer this type of entertainment.Īislinn can see the invisible faeries, but she cannot let them know that: they would punish her terribly if they knew she has got the Sight.
Publisher: Harper Collins Children's Books Summary: A day-dream of a teenage girl with aspirations to cool made into an exciting if unchallenging urban fairy tale that makes a tasty summer read for teens and those grownups that prefer this type of entertainment.
