Readers' Favorite review of Violetta: A Fae in the House of the Fairies
Reviewed by Stephanie Chapman for Readers’ Favorite
5 stars
Denny R. Swartzlander’s Violetta: A Fae in the House of the Fairies is the second book in the Eleganta series. It divides the story into three parts. Lira is a garden fairy searching for a Lyka plant to add to her garden. Bog, a goblin, brings bad news from the fairy realm. Learning that Weyina isn’t her mother, Lira catches a ride with Isor, who takes her to Queen Violetta. Weyina, Bog, Lurr, Eloman, and Preen use man-made flying contraptions to cross the sea to rescue Lira. They find her with the fae queen, but she is unwilling to leave. Violetta reveals that Ethywyne is her mother. Weyina, Eloman, and Lira follow Violetta to search for Ethywyne. Meanwhile, Bog and Lurr are facing Isor’s wrath. He has them lead him to their enchanted forest. However, there is a darker force present that threatens the realm and everything in it.
Denny R. Swartzlander provides several perspectives in developing the different plots. Lira’s desire to meet her actual mother leads her to trust Violetta’s directions. She even disregards obvious warning signs, such as what happened to the two goblins. Violetta tells the fairies she knows where Ethywyne is, but neglects to tell them she is suspicious. The goblins explain their struggle with Isor’s anger. The unpredictable twists and revelations kept me enchanted. Every page had me engrossed because of the detailed portrayal of the obstacles the travelers faced. Every character has a distinct personality that gives them strength in some situations while hindering them in others. The end of the story leaves an opening for a sequel, which I am eager to read. Violetta: A Fae in the House of the Fairies will appeal to fantasy readers who enjoy the views of several characters sharing a journey.
