Review of Frey by Melissa Wright


Overview by Smashwords


Unaware she's been bound from using magic, Frey leads a small, miserable life in the village where she's sent after the death of her mother. But a tiny spark starts a fury of changes and she finds hersef running from everything she's ever known. Hunted by council for practicing dark magic, she is certain she's been wrongfully accused. She flees, and is forced to rely on strangers for protection. But the farther she strays from home, the more her magic and forgotten memories return and she begins to suspect all is not as it seems.
 
Review by the Bookworm
 
We are introduced to the world of Elves.  And I'm talking the hot Legolas of Lord of the Rings type elves, not the short little gnomes of the North Pole. 
 
We are introduced to Freya, Frey to those close to her.  She is a nonmagical elf that lives with her Aunt Frannie.  An outcast and alone, most other elves leave her be.  She has a mentor by the name of Junnie that tries to teach her the magical gifts of her people.  While sitting at the table going over that days lessons, Freya finds her abilities, and with great consequence.
 
Her fear and anger spark her into a world she does not know, a world that is as much exciting as it is frightening.  On her journey she learns of the dark history of the elves of the north, but what part does she play in it?  I'll leave that to you when you read the book.
 
It is a great self published novel, the second one just out.  If you want something different from vamps and werewolves, dive into the world of the fae!  Highly recommend!
 
Loves!
