7-5-09 Wondrous Strange by Lesley Livingston – Fiction

3 – This was an OK book – not stupendous but not awful.  Just OK.  The story centers around Kelley, a 17 year old actress in New York City, who gets her break when the lead she’s understudying break her ankle and can’t perform as Titiana in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”  But Kelley is special even if she doesn’t know it yet.  She is the lost Faerie princess of the Unseelie Faerie court.  She becomes the center of a power struggle between Auberon, the Unseelie Faerie King, and Mabh, the Faerie Queen of Darkness.  The battle is set to take place on Samhain, Halloween, in Central Park and only Kelley has the power to prevent it.  A pretty good tale with ties between Shakespeare and the Faerie world.
