Rise of the Forest Queen

by K. Moongazer

Moriana "Mori" Albright is your average eighteen-year-old when she is abducted by raiders and pulled into the magical world of the fae. Once there, Mori finds herself next in line to become their forest queen and inherit the powerful royal magic that accompanies the throne.

After accepting her fate and growing into her full power, she proceeds to show the fae what she can do, until a vengeful dictator crashes her world and tries to steal her magic for himself. Mori finds herself dragged into an ancient war that has raged on longer than she has been alive. To make matters worse, another threat is trying to destroy the entire forest!

Will Mori be able to defeat the fierce raider king, protect the forest, and show the fae that she has what it takes to be queen? Or will her time in the fae world end just as swiftly as it began?

This book is about Mori a teen who was adopted as a baby and finds out she is a royal from another realm. She has powers of growing plants, and being in touch with nature. She searches to find her mother, then with companions to help guide her she heals the forest and works to fight the raider king. This book was a cute story that shows different mythological creatures, from fae, to fairys, to leprechauns and more. This isn't a romantasy type book, but about a young woman finding her strength.

I liked the plot and felt there was a lot of potential for younger ages to enjoy. Some of the characters dialogue felt like it dragged and felt out of place, and then the action would happen very quickly. More of a "tell" than a "show" type writing. Her trusty wolf companion Faust was my favorite character!

Ultimately, I think this is a good fantasy book for ages 12-18 and though wasn't my favorite, I can definitely see younger ages absolutely loving it.

A charming tale of growth, adventure, unique creatures. Reading about Mori finding herself and overcoming expectations makes for an inspiring yet cozy little read. I love the humor woven throughout the story. It is a tad bit on the gory side but I enjoyed reading this book with my 12 year old daughter.

Well written book, the Arthur's descriptions of characters and scenery, etc really make the book come alive for a reader. The story is well written, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
