Fairy Ring by Nicolette Andrews is a short fantasy romance about a pair of lovers who cross a fairy ring in a forest and are transported to a fae kingdom. The Thorn King wants them to play his game…can their love stand the tests that he has in store for them?
Fairy Ring is an engaging short story about romance, magic, and temptation. Brenna and Edric are young and in love and looking to strike out on their own. After stumbling into the fae kingdom things take a turn for them. I find it interesting how both characters are tested differently. They both seek to find each other and escape but I find it interesting that they waver. I like that the author does this because it kept me engaged in the story. I’ll admit to that there were moments that I wanted Brenna to stay.
I enjoyed this story and it does have a happy ending/happily ever after. I will say that this book has a few editorial errors here and there throughout the book. Most of the errors show up in the second half, but they are there. Most of the errors do not distract or detract from the overall story, but they do catch the eye.
I am rating this book 4.5 out of 5 stars. The story is good, but it left me with a few questions concerning certain things in the story. What happened to the ring Edric was given? Also, the errors were simple and easily noticed. This is a good story, but just needs a bit of sprucing up. If you are looking for a quick story about the power of true love then this is a good story to pick up.

Fairy Ring was a fun prequel to Heart of Thorns. It features forbidden lovers, Brenna and Edric, who try to run away to be married. But to escape Brenna’s father, they must hide in the woods of Thornwood, where they wind up on an adventure that could test the nature of their love.
This prequel was especially nice for its vivid detail of the Kingdom of Thorns. I also really love the challenges the main characters are offered.
Definitely a must-read if you love reading about the fae!

Fairy tale romance that turns into a psychological thriller
Most fairy tales are about how love conquers all, about love at first sight, about the happily ever that is sure to come if our lovers follow their hearts.
This story travels down the other possible futures, the whatifs, the realities the young lovers never considered. Is their love true, or are they in love with a dream? There are also many elements reminiscent of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice.

Fairy Ring is an awesome prequel to the Heart of Thorns. Enough to make me want to reread it. Brenna and Edric are two lovers that dared to tread in the Thorn and find themselves in peril of those who dwell in the Thorn.
This is a short read with some enchanting characters, fae, and a dash of deceit that will leave the reader wanting more. Nicolette Andrews is definitely an author to follow as I am often surprised by twists and new life written into tales of myth and legend, trope and fantasy.
