About this ebook

Two years after leaving the Faerie Realm, Henry Atherton finds a middle-aged Pyrgus and his new wife, Nymph, in Mr Fogarty's garden. They explain that a terrible plague has taken hold of the Faerie Realm, causing faeries to age so rapidly that Pyrgus had to flee in order to save himself. Determined to help his friends, Henry returns to the Realm, hoping to find a cure and perhaps win his way back into the heart of Queen Holly Blue. But the plague isn't what it seems, and when the treacherous villains of the Faerie Realm are involved, anything is possible.

    This book was supposed to be that last one in the series, and the book's jacket even says it. However it isn't, because he released The Faeman Quest, the fifth installment in the series. Faerie Lord for me just did not have the same magic as the previous three. It was far too short, and the story was just not as interesting as the others. The aging disease and the introduction of angels were interesting elements in the stories plot, however it just wasn't enough for me to not be let down by this book. Oh well c'est la vie sometimes.

    Two years have past since the last book, and now Henry is asked to return to Faerie World by Mr. Fogarty to help end an aging disease.It was a good ending to a great series. I enjoyed reading about Henry's adventures these past few books.

    Another reviewer wrote that the final book in the Faerie Wars series takes on an entirely different tone, look, and feel than its predecessors. I couldn't agree more - and I absolutely adored it for those reasons! - This final story seemed more in line with the "hero's journey" motif that saps like me find so thrilling! The direction completely changes, and along with it, a sense of what is truly important. Older, previously dominant characters are put on the backburner, carried-over conflicts are tucked away, and therefore Henry, my sweet, sweet Henry, is given the chance to shine! As I was reading, I kept hearing that Mulan song "I'll Make a Man out of You" in my brain, and I thought that was pretty appropriate! - Just like the previous books, though, there is no shortage of action (especially following Ruler of the Realm; my mind is still boggled from that experience!) but like I said before, the rite-of-passage theme gives some needed maturity to this enjoyable series. The first three books were action-packed, clever and imaginative, and wickedly funny; now, thanks to the fourth and final installment, the series finally gets heart, and with that, a true purpose. Now, much as I like Herbie Brennan and Faerie Lord I do feel the urge to wag my finger in his direction, because there were some noticeable plot holes (they dont jeopardize the main story, but they're annoying nonetheless) and some contradictions in character descriptions. Also, I still feel the same way I did at the end of Ruler of the Realm: an ingenious plot device that is a little too easily solved. The epic "battle" (and it's not really a battle so much as a test) is over in practically the blink of an eye, and you're left feeling that the efforts of the characters are somehow futile because of it. Also, I still feel a bit confused at how certain events ended up coming together... So why did I give this final book 5 stars instead of 4? Even if the story may not have been executed in the most effective (or coherent) way possible, the look-and-feel of the story captured my attention and my emotions. And I got my happy ending. Seriously: JUST the way I like it. See, YA authors? It *CAN* be done! If a dude author can give closure, you should, too (CASSIE CLARE! HOLLY BLACK!) And now another series is over and I'm sad again. You just can't beat series books! Whatever will I read next?!?!

    Book 1 in the series. Pyrgus meets Henry and Mr. Fogarty by coming to the real world. The Purple emperor dies through the plotting of his trusted adviser.

    5/5
    A great and touching ending to this quartet of books. Involves a lot of action and some romance. Definitely geared towards lower teen readers with the nice short chapters, but an enjoyable read even for an adult. I just wish there were more books than these four.
