Overview

Can Two Worlds Survive an Augury? Releasing a Chandarion's god-like magic into the world isn't what sixteen-year-old Aunia, the village's outcast, intends. She only wants to impress Mathias, a visiting seventeen-year-old pegasus flyer, who fiercely believes the choice-either Faery or Mortal world surviving-has come. Her action calls forth the Boggleman, a soul-sucking ghoul, who abducts her dad, eats her faery friends, and sets Dagel demons on her isolated village. And worse. The fascinating worlds of Ahnu-Endynia are full of faeries, pegasi flyers, myths, secrets, and themes of belonging and self-love, despite being misunderstood. And if you don't watch carefully ... You might be pulled into the Betwixt... the space between the worlds.

Magic, faeries, pegasi, trying to save the world from destruction....and a shapeshifting villain? This book has them all! Aunia, apothecary apprentice and FMC, has had all knowledge of her and her mother's past kept from her by her father her entire life, and is the village outcast due to her interactions with various faeries and the mischief they all get into causing the other villagers to resent her. Mathias, pegasus flyer and MMC, has been sent on a quest by his former mentor to try and find a way to save both worlds before one is destroyed by unbalanced magic. At the same time he's on a military mission to destroy destructive faeries that leads him and the rest of his squad to the isolated village Aunia lives in. This is a different approach to faerie and human worlds, that was interesting to learn about throughout the story. You learn about a disruption in the magic balance between the human and faerie worlds, how that came to happen, and what this means for the future. There's a lot of mythology and lore about the worlds that's uncovered and lots of twists and turns between all of the characters. Aunia and Mathias decide to work together to try and learn more about the lore of the land, while finding trouble at every turn, and how Aunia's background and magic play into possibly saving these worlds. I loved Taf and Keston's characters--they were hilarious and I can't wait to see more from them in the next book! - Goodreads Reviewer Faeries don't lie by T.F. Burke is a delightful magical YA book, with two great main characters. I loved and felt for Aunia, who is regarded with suspicion by her fellow villagers, because she somewhat different. When she meets Mathias they are drawn to each other and together they are trying to fit in the world, while at the same time trying to save the worlds. This story-line and plot is great and the writing style is flowing. The world-building is amazing and there are all sorts of creatures, the Boggleman is one that stands out. This book is a great book which I enjoyed reading a lot. It has surprised me with the engaging plot and characters. If you want to read a great and unique fairy story, with action, magic, romance and a wonderful setting, this is the book you want to read. - Goodreads Reviewer How can I express to you how much I love a fun easy, magical book? YA fantasy is often a place I go on my bookshelves when i am in need of something not to heavy and when the world outside is overwhelming. This book provided me an escape I cannot wait to dive into again. I saw Faeries Don't Lie offered on NetGalley and the gold filigree cover drew me into wanting to know more about the world. When it was approved for reading and review, I dove in with excited and was not disappointed. The world is richly developed and the characters are well done. I won't even caveat that by saying in a YA Fantasy book because I simply think the characters were impressive and engaging. There is a bit of a romance between Aunia and Mathia, but it's cute and not spicy. The way I like my romances to be. There are themes of wanting to belong, understanding, compassion, and themes of finding your place in the world. All of which, I feel most readers can connect with on some level. I am excited to see what Book #2 will have to offer as T. F. Burke continues to build out the world, the conflicts, and the human and fae societies. Get ready to be sucked in to a new world of wonder. - Goodreads Reviewer
