| User Summary: | The princess of your fairy tribe has been kidnapped, and you must help rescue her! |
| Demian's Thoughts: | This is a somewhat unusual entry in the series -- while you might expect the book to cast the reader as a child who somehow gets involved with fairies, this adventure instead allows the reader to actually play as a fairy. The result is a brief but satisfying fantasy adventure with a clear objective, surprisingly harsh consequences for failure, and decent internal consistency. The "younger reader" format doesn't allow a lot of room for detailed backstory or lengthy exploration, but this serves as a nice condensation of the fantasy quest format for its target audience, and it's definitely above average for the series. |
