THE TORN WING by Kiki Hamilton
Publication Date: October 2, 2012 by Fair Winds Books
A bloody escape, a deadly threat, a shocking revelation…
Tiki’s greatest fear suddenly becomes all too real: the fey have returned to London seeking revenge. As war escalates in the Otherworld, Queen Victoria’s youngest son, Prince Leopold, is attacked. In order to protect her family and those she loves, Tiki needs to know the meaning of an fáinne sí, the birthmark that winds around her wrist. But will she be brave enough to face the truth?
| Just like when I picked up The Faerie Ring, The Torn Wing transported me back to Victorian London. I love Kiki Hamilton’s writing so much. I read another review and they described the writing as “weaving” and that is such a perfect description because it is completely true. Kiki is the master of weaving in details and backstory and description. It makes reading so exciting, and it makes me go from enjoying a book to getting sucked into its pages and falling in love with it. Kiki’s writing made me fall in love with The Faerie Ring and its sequel The Torn Wing.
I loved The Faerie Ring for the magical world that was created and I was so happy to get to live within its pages again. The Torn Wing is every bit as magical and awesome as the first book. I love the mix of history and magic and secrets. It is just so cool. Plus you get to spend more time with Tiki and her family and they are just the best! We find out lots more in The Torn Wing and I feel like we are finally getting some answers. I love uncovering secrets and there certainly was a lot of that in this book. It is just such an enjoyable ride. I can’t wait to read the next book. This is turning out to be a favorite series for me. Kiki Hamilton is great about laying a bit of a foundation for those that may not have remembered everything from the first book. But she doesn’t do too much of it so that it gets annoying. Another reason why her writing rocks. She is great about balancing detail. Never too much or too little. I need the next book asap!!

Wonderful review. I love what you said about how the author weaves the details and backstory. I’m happy to know that she reminds the reader what happened in the first book without spending too much time rehashing it. That can be frustrating sometimes when I crack open the second book excited to see what happens and spend far too much time going over information I already knew.
Thanks for the giveaway! and Great review!!

Kiki Hamilton describes herself as someone who believes in fairies – reading her books will make you a believer too!
I’ve read great reviews for The Faerie Ring, so both of these are definitely on my TBR list!
