Stolen Spells #2

The Fairy Handbook to Spells and Salvation

The lines between Light and Dark blur when Alder and Lily assume their crowns as the new King and Queen of the Fae Kingdom. The goal of their reign is to fulfill Gideon’s wishes of uniting the fairy Kingdoms, but something sinister stands in their way.

Determined to find Bennett and retrieve the stolen book, Lily’s attention strays from her duties, making her rely on her sisters more than ever before.

With the portals now open to a select few and Fern, Iris, and Daisy revealed as her half-fae sisters, the world Lily knew quickly spins out of focus, although one truth becomes It’s up to the “flower girls” to weave a spell and bring about the salvation their entire Kingdom needs.

I do love when the second book in a series is as good if not more exciting than the first. The first can often be setting the scene, the background story and revealing the beginning of the adventure which first book did so well.
Taking up a few months after the unexpected ending in book 1 we not only get to explore more of Lil's new world but also more characters are expanded upon and we get to know her sisters a little more as well as other characters which is great. I enjoy books that have characters with their own chapters to reveal their perspective and their own journeys, so another exciting adventure along with good character interactions and unexpected surprises along the way.
I am excited for next book and after reading books 1 and 2 straight after each other as intrigued curious as to what is ahead for the characters and worlds.

The girls are back and so is the fun of this series. Truly a light fun read but with trouble and danger too. Alder and Lily are now in charge but there is still the matter of the stolen book to deal with. Made me laugh and groan and enjoy that Lily was the same yet a bit better this time around. Still wanted to slap her at times but made for fun times. And get to see the fallout of all the revelations from the last book.

Great sequel!

I absolutely devoured this book. The only thing I wish it had was some steam and more relationship development between Alder and Lily, but this book is clearly not a romance novel, but a fantasy novel that happens to have a touch of romance. That's just my own preference speaking. This book is beautifully written and sucks you right in. Just enough recap at the beginning without being annoying if you're coming straight from book one. I can't wait for book three!!

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

The Fairy handbook to spells and salvation is such a good book! The story just captures your attention from the beginning and doesn’t let you go. The twist and turns were just amazing. I love the characters and their story. This series is honestly so addicting and whimsical but still with a good amount of trouble. I absolutely recommend this series because I loved every second of it.

Tish Thawer is one of those authors who can cast a spell on the reader, captivating them page by page. There are two things that Thawer does fantastically, and those are truly fallible, characters and wonderful language. With regards to her creation of characters you will not find a more talented author. Straight across the board her characters will draw the reader into this novel. All her twists and turns are brilliant.
In this second novel the sisters return with a King and a Queen and the revelation that some sisters are only half Fae. How will their world survive? Captivating. I received this novel from BookSprout. This is my true and honest review.

Just like the previous book, I was so intrigued and thought this book was so well written that I just breezed through this book! I loved where the story took Lily and Alder. There is so much I would love to comment on, however it would spoil the book and I refuse to do that to anyone who may see my review. This series is one that will be most enjoyed by people who love all things Fae! I thought the world building was done well and I loved all the characters. I can't wait to read the next book in this series when it is out.

Now this is a proper para cozey mystery with all the trimmings. A spell casting array of characters so vibrant, so colorful so magical. You can't help but be drawn in by such a precious cast of witches, fairies and many more magical beings with a plot to enhance and entice you further in through intrigue, betrayal and an age old thirst for power. Once you begin this tale there'll be know stopping you until you've unraveled its unexpected and climatic story. Acquire "The Fairy Handbook to Spells and Salvation" for hours of magical intrigue and enjoyable entertainment .Kat.

I read the first book in this series, so I decided to try this one too.

This was the second book in the Stolen Spells series. I enjoyed it as much as the first book, although it did feel different. It felt magical, as did the first book, but it did have more of a fairy tale flavour.

Thank you to Booksprout and the author for a free copy to review.

They want to fulfill Gideon's wishes of uniting the fairy kindom, but their enemy will do anything to stop them. Alder and Lily have their crowns, now they need to marry, although Lily is a bit distracted on the loss of the book and Bennett's deception. Luckily Lily has her sisters to help, but will it be enough? I enjoyed this magical tale, with it's dangers, suspense and deceitful enemy, a great read.

Such a good premise, but so underdeveloped. I never felt invested in any of the characters, relationships, or plot points. Everything was just kind of told to me instead of letting characters actions speak for themselves. For example, Lily telling us that Daisy is funny, loving, kind, one of the smartest witches, but I never saw any of that in the book? I wish this was about 300 pages longer so it could actually have some depth.

Book two returns us to Lily and Alder’s story.
Just as magical, entertaining and unpredictable as book one. Join the flower sisters as they continue their adventures with more twists, magic, fun, danger, suspense and beautiful imagery.
I can’t wait for book three to continue this enchanting journey.

This was a charming sequel to an already great story. The characters are addicting and the story line moves along (over too quick for me HAHA) but very engaging. I can't wait to see if this becomes a Trilogy because it's just too good to leave!.

Revelation and redemption are the tales woven into the second book of the Stolen Spells series. With magical descriptions and sweeping locales, I was entranced by Thawer's fairy realm and can't wait to see what happens next.

The girls are back and Lily and Alder are now in charge and this book takes up where the story left off a few months later. I love the story and how it is written Tish Thawer is my new favorite author.

Whimsical story with several twists and turns in it. Entertaining characters that help create the story. There is some mystery and fantasy that bring the story to life. Like the magical aspect of the story. Good read.

This short but

well thought out venture into the fae/witch realm was a fun read. The first two books could have been one longer book, but for lovers if quick reads, or youth it is a series I'd recomend.
