Faye thought that the most difficult choice she’d need to make would be about college applications. Instead, her world changes overnight when a mysterious new student appears. Faye learns that there’s a world called the Ether, filled with mythological creatures. When the new student is revealed to be a magical protector searching for her, Faye discovers that she has a place in this magical world. But before she can adjust, Faye must quickly learn to use magic before a power-hungry villain causes chaos.

In Faye and the Ether, well-known myths and creatures we assume we know are creatively re-imagined. Mythological politics, power plays, and magical lessons create a compelling story. Faye’s struggle to adapt to the magical world was very relatable and I enjoyed seeing her form connections with a wide cast of characters! I absolutely love that there were selkies in this story; I hope we see more of them. I would recommend this if you’re seeking YA featuring magical adventures, mythological creatures, and LGBTQ rep. This was a very fun adventure and I’m looking forward to seeing how it continues! Faye and the Ether is out now!
