Red's younger brother was kidnapped by fairies when he was a baby and she swore then to get him back. There are some open questions to be addressed in the third book but this story, as a whole, was complete. This one was very well written, enjoyable and did not leave me hanging. It is a trilogy so another book will be published. I had absolutely no problem with understanding this book even though I didn't read the first book. The reading level is easy enough for a latency child who is not easily intimidated by thick books.This book is a sequel as previously mentioned.
Each charm has been cursed and the curses are quite creative. Eventually, the two stories collide and the resolution of the conflict will involve both worlds as Red, Tanya and Fabian hunt down the 13 charms.The best part was the actual hunting of the charms. She falls asleep for a couple of months and wakes up.The story has two fronts - Red in the Fairy Realm, looking for her brother and trying to reach the Court before Halloween, the day that the Seelie Court gives power to the Unseelie Court, and a village outside London where Tanya lives in a mansion with her grandmother and groundskeeper and his son. But fairies do lurk in this home and eventually a greedy fairy starts kidnapping babies and replacing them with "changelings." Although Rowan takes precautions, her brother is kidnapped.The next couple of weeks are covered in another book where Rowan changes her name to Red, dyes her hair brown, trades places in the fairy realm with Tanya, another human with the second sight and Red seeks refuge in a tree covered with rowanberries.
She and her brother are suddenly orphaned and sent to a home for orphans.
They are not beautiful and kind creatures but malicious and stink of earth other smells not so pleasant. She takes this knowledge and writes a story about an early teenage girl who has the second sight and her toddler brother. Michelle Harrison knows a lot about fairy lore.
