Faery Sight

There are some elements of this book I really enjoyed. Faerie Sight is written in an abstract, somewhat dreamy, style that reminds me a lot of Spanish literature. For some reason the prose really lends itself to comparison with Gabriel Garcia Marquez or Isabel Allende. There was too much emphasis on description for my personal taste, which made the first half of the book slow-going for me, but once the plot picked up, it became very compelling and I simply loved the powerful ending Bossano has given this story. Unfortunately, I feel the biggest failing of this story is the structure, which currently reveals some key information way to early on in the novel, making several elements too predictable and taking away from the grand reveal at the end.

Every sentence felt meaningful and well-constructed and I ended up reading the second half of the book in about one day because I couldn't put it down. I'm happy I read it and feel even more excited to promote it now that I know it's so well done.

Faery Sight invites our imagination to take over. We stop questioning the reality and merge into the scene almost ready to take Celeste by the hand and help her understand her destiny. We become friends with the faeries, but hope Celeste will understand her human skills. And then we find out her destiny and how living with the faeries came about. Patricia's environmental descriptions are so beautiful, the reader can't help but feel comfortable blending with the beauty of nature. But when action comes back to the fore, we suddenly realize there is a story and so much of this story grabs on reality. Fiction becomes fact.Yes, fact because we can all equate with the emotions expressed. So many levels to this book which, for me makes it special. I just didn't want it to end..

I could not put the book down, it is a real page turner. I really enjoyed the long sentences that is somewhat out of favor for most authors. Patricia Bossano was able to describe in very vivid details the beautiful Realm of the Faery. The story was very good and kept my attention. I would most highly recommend this book, it is so well written by a very talented author. Patricia has a wonderful imagination and is able to keep the reader attention.

Patricia Bossano captivates the heart with her latest book, Faery Sight. Her sumptuous use of language draws the reader into an exploration of the faery world where Celeste discovers her true identity and royal inheritance. Women of all ages will enjoy and relate to this gentle love story.

This book exemplifies for the YA readership a magical trip in finding a sense of self, along with the difficult decision as to which world to belong to. I highly recommend this book for women of all ages, but more especially for the YA world. It's truly a coming of age novel.
