I know that it’s meant to be fantasy, but it’s nothing like Harry Potter where the magical world is so well concealed. I really had a lot of trouble getting my head around this stuff, and believing it. Nick is a wolf, Devon is an eagle, Betty is a tiger and Mrs Nix is bear. A Were is human that can turn into an animal whenever it feels threatened. In “Need” we also find out that that Nick is a Were. We don’t see them going on dates, or sitting on park benches and sharing ice-creams (which, mind you, is quite clichéd in itself) but anyway, the book needs more of this stuff. They hold hands, kiss, hug and say ‘I love you’ but there is no evidence that this love is real.
Half the book is the romance between Nick and Zara (and don’t get me wrong, it’s starting to get a bit boring) and the other half is Zara trying to fix her mistakes and solve countless problems.Īs mentioned in a few of the Goodreads articles (which you can access in the links section at the bottom of the page) many people really don’t like the clichéd romance between Zara and Nick. Only a few things happen in this novel and they really aren’t vital to the story line. I didn’t mind the first one, and when I found out that there was a sequel (let alone 3 other books) I was quite excited. I have to say that this book was a little bit of a disappointment. Zara must learn to protect what she loves the most and put herself in such danger, unimaginable danger. Zara is scared, her and her friends have locked up as many pixies as they can in a house in the woods, but how much longer until they find a way out? Nick and Zara are as close as can be, but something happens that will change their relationship forever. His name is Astley, but here’s the thing: he is not a nasty, bloodthirsty, horrible creature like all the other pixies that she has encountered. She meets another king who is about her age. Her father is a pixie king, which means that she is destined to be a queen. In the previous book, Need, we find out that Zara has pixie blood. If you have not read the book, then I warn you that they may be some spoilers in this review. In my last review I covered that Zara was sent to live with her Grandma Betty after the traumatic death of her step-dad. If you have not read my review for the previous book in this series “Need” then please do so now.
