LitPick Review
In the story, Faylinn: The Cup of the Sidhe, Thomas notices his little sister Isabelle being kidnapped by a non-human creature during the night. For Thomas to save her, he calls on his know-it-all sister Libby to come help him on the adventure to Faylinn to rescue Isabelle. Before they get there though, they need to make a few stops along the way. These stops bring forth puzzles to gather information about the unknown figure and the location of Faylinn. Once they enter Faylinn, new and mysterious creatures called Faes meet them. What fate does Thomas, Libby, And Isabelle face with the Faes? Are they going to go home to a warm bed or die an unfortunate death?
Opinion:
In Faylinn: The Cup of the Sidhe, the author created a good life lesson. For example, Libby and Thomas loved their sister Isabelle deeply, and when she disappeared, they wanted to save her. From the text, it shows how deeply the siblings love each other and even if that means risking their own life. Also, this author has great humor like on page 64 where it says, “Libby made a mental note that if they did not make it back alive, she would make Thomas her personal butler for the rest of his life. He would pay dearly for making her go first.” The author also created fun nicknames for the characters such as “big baby” for a 13-year-old. The author did a really good job creating the characters voices throughout the story as the different language used by each character was unique. However, I felt like the story could have used more details about the adventure like whether it is day or night since there was not much description about that. However, this story was an exciting adventure, filled with twists and turns, and one that is worth exploring.
