Freyr: God of Faeries: Prequel to "The Fate of the World Tree" Series
Avery Fletcher never did anything that was unexpected. That is, until she met Caleb Marshall. Avery was in her last year of college at the University of Southern California when the latest video game, God of Fairies launched. Her twin brother Finn also attended school there, but he was far more interested in women and games than he was in his studies. She had gotten into gaming in an effort to spend more time with him, but nothing could have prepared her for Alfheim. In the game, everything was new. She could be anything she wanted, and she had never had that kind of freedom. But there was something different about this game. Secrets lay in the beautiful world of Alfheim. Monsters lurked in the shadows. But the real monsters lurked deep within. Could she keep track of who she was in this strange land? Everything she thought she knew was about to change. And it all started with a man in a black cloak.

College girl Avery decides to join her twin brother in playing a newly released virtual reality MMO game (a little like World of Warcraft) since she wants to be closer to him, as they’ve grown apart since their teenage years. But when she enters the fully immersive game, she finds herself alone and unarmed in a forest and being attacked by a goblin. A muscled warrior by the name Caleb comes to her rescue and teaches her how to defend herself in the game. In return, the two become friends, and something more.
I loved this short story! I am annoyed that the author took the books that continue this series down from Amazon since it’s my primary platform to download e-books from. I did notice that they still exist on several other platforms, so I’ll just have to experiment around (just for this series). Beats me how the title works into this book. Freyr was never mentioned, neither was a god of fairies. It had fantasy sword fighting action and adventure, it had romance, camaraderie with her brother, it had humor, and coming of age as Avery had to break out of her shy shell. I felt for Avery (even if she did obsess on her singleness quite a bit). I loved her shyness. I’m every bit as shy, so I could see a lot of myself in her. I loved that she wanted to re-connect with her brother and I loved the relationship they had with the teasing each other. I loved her meeting Caleb, and their relationship as it grew even over the few short pages. Even with Avery as the narrator character, you should see things going through Caleb’s head, and with the little he revealed, it left me asking a whole lot of questions about who he was as a person. Does he know her, what’s his actual age, does he know her brother, etc. It’s a mystery that I’m dying to unravel with the next book, should I ever be able to get my hands on it. There is a rather graphic sex scene in this that felt a bit tacked on and like it didn’t really fit with the rest of the story, but just added in to appeal to the fans that need sex. The main reason I knocked a point off was that for all the build-up, the VR game world was really lacking on detail and world building (though I’m thinking it’s the basic World of Warcraft). All we ended up getting was forest and a couple of goblins. She said she read magazines telling about the game and the different types of characters they could create, but then she really didn’t tell us about anything of what she had read. Why did she pick the character type that she did? I did love the set up for the next book, even if it was the standard typical VR game cliffhanger for the coming series (nearly ever VR game book I’ve read has had that specific cliff. But yet it doesn’t cease to be interesting, nor does it feel done to death, yet).

Freyr:God of Faeries:
I am sorry but there is not enough of a prequel here to even give an honest review. All a reader knows is that a girl and her brother hooked up to a Brand New virtual reality game. She lands in a forest but her brother is not there. She tries walking to find him and finds a goblin is following her. The goblin wounds her and she runs since she has no weapons. When she gets to a stream, a guy kills the troll and she is attracted to him and although a virgin, has sex. She tries to leave the game and cannot, he tries and says he cannot either. This could be true but he could be a program, since it is virtual reality.

This was one action packed prequel about Avery a senior in college and a good girl and her twin brother, Finn who is an outgoing guy. Avery plays video games to have something in common with her brother and on 1st day of Freyr they log on and end up where they can not log out or find a menu on their screens. While in the game Avery meets another gamer, Caleb and boy do they have an unbelievable experience! There are secrets and intrigue waiting to be discovered. I look forward to reading this series. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Freyr: God of Faeries is a great introduction for The Fate of the World Tree series by Mirajane. I had to remember this was only a prequel with 51 pages and 9 chapters. I enjoyed reading this book and looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

I really like this prequel. I Thought it was a good intro to a plot where characters are trapped in a virtual world. The character seem interesting and the situation was unique. Despite this I felt storyI was really short.
