Faerie Wars by Herbie Brennan

by Liesl

Faerie Wars is actually the first of the Faerie Wars series, the second book being called The Purple Emperor. This fantastic book is about a boy living in a world that has faerie clans called faeries of the night and faeries of the light. When the main character (Pyrgus) goes through a portal to escape the faeries of the night that are trying to get rid of him, something goes drastically wrong. Instead of landing in another faeries world Pyrgus lands in the world of people. Pyrgus's story parallels the story of another boy's hardship and they become friends during their own struggles. This book is the #1 YALSA (Young Adult Library Services Association) teen's top ten pick and is said to be great for people who like the Harry Potter books. Faerie Wars is a blend of fantasy, science, and a bit of mythology.
