Most teens, even some younger children, shouldn’t have problems with anything in Faerie Wars. I am a parent, but believe that teens should, in general, be given credit for being able to distinguish between what is reality and what is fantasy, and what is right and wrong, unless they’re highly impressionable. These themes are not, however, dealt with very graphically, and all play an important part in the overall plot of Faerie Wars. Some of the book deals with themes some parents might be uneasy about, like lesbianism, the conjuring of demons, ritualistic sacrifices, and murder. Though I liked the book, and recommend it, I do have some reservations and caveats about it. The Nightside fairies live side-by-side with the Fairies of the Light in an uneasy peace, but how long can it last? And, can Henry, an insecure teenager in our world, which the fairies call the Analog World, help his friend Prince Pyrgus and Pyrgus’ sister, Princess Holly Blue, in finding a way to defeat the Nightside fairies and their demonic allies in time to save the Realm from a hostile takeover? If you’re a fan of science fiction and fantasy, you’re sure to love Faerie Wars, a book that answers these questions and shifts between genres as easily as its characters shift between dimensions with Portals.
