Commentary During Books The Steward (Weald Fae Journals #1)
Maggie O’Shea expected the worst when her family relocated from the lively beaches of Boca Raton to the secluded forests of the Ozark Mountains. What she didn’t expect was a new beginning – one full of Fae, magical powers, dangerous physical and mental trials, and two surprisingly gorgeous young men. These aren’t the fairies you’re familiar with, but dangerous superpowers embroiled in an enduring struggle among themselves over the fate of all humanity. Some want to protect us, and others would love nothing more than to see us, and especially fifteen-year-old Maggie, dead and buried. Now, torn between her new duties as Steward of the most sacred Fae land and her burgeoning love for Gavin, a powerful Fae, Maggie must fight to protect her family, her friends, herself, and the fate of the entire world.Join Maggie as she learns that fairy lore is not as far from the truth as she had believed, but neither is it anything like the tales in books or movies. As she navigates the treacherous schemes of the magical Fae, Maggie must become a quick study if she hopes to protect the lives of many, and possibly all, people from the insidious plot the Unseelie Fae have planned for centuries.
The Steward is the first book in the four part series: the Weald Fae Journals by Christopher Shields.

This was a fantastic book - by the end I could barely put it down!It tells the story of Maggie O'Shea, a 15-year-old girl who just moved from sunny Florida to cold Eureka Springs, and tiny middle-of-nowhere town, to help her ageing Aunt take care of their sprawling estate. But her aunt soon has a big secret to tell her - the forest that the family owns, known as the Weald, is a sacred place to the Fae, a magical fairy-like race who are deeply in-tune with nature, and Maggie's family has beenI just finished reading, and would have been done sooner if my family vacation had been less active. Thecharacters are all very well written, the plot is exquisite, and the lead female character is strong. I loved reading how she overcame her obstacles.Chalen I wanted to see destroyed. He was the epitome of Unseelie to me. I very much enjoyed the way that the clans were portrayed, with even the Seelie having darker aspects.I am very glad to be able to read the next in the series, because I've
Took me a few chapters before being taken by the story. After that, a hard time to put down the book. I really like the Celtic, fae lore, and the world created by Christopher Shields is really appealing! i'm attacking right away book 2 : The Changeling.
I enjoyed this YA fantasy novel about a high school girl (Maggie O'Shea) being forced to move from Florida to Eureka Springs, AR and finding that it holds more promise than she realized. In Shield's novel, faeries are real, and can be lifesize hunks of well-dressed teenage males or little creatures flitting around with wings. Underneath appearances, they are other life forms that can be pure energy or can take other forms, both human and animal. It turns out that the O'Shea farm guards a portal
I enjoyed this story and have already added THE CHANGELING (Weald Fae Journals, Book 2) to my wish list. I did find that it was a little slow moving. It contains lots of dialog which provided back story and world building but distracted me from seeing and investing in the emotional connections between the characters. I truly believe this series will have huge potential and am giving it 3.5 stars.
Wow, this book was AWESOME! If you are anything like me, and love Fae-tales (they really don't like to be called fairies), magic, myth, and mystery you have found the right book (or series as it looks). I was interested by the brief book description, but once I started reading, I found I was no longer on my front deck, but had stepped through to the incredibly real, and full world of Maggie O'Shea. I have said before that a character was real or fleshed well, but I have never read through the
Christopher Shields has a way of bringing his characters to life and making you want to know more about them, yes, even the wicked ones! He has created a wonderful world filled with Fantasy, intrigue and magic. The Steward (Weald Fae Journals) is fast paced with a very strong protagonist. It's setting amidst the beauty of the Ozarks in Arkansas is described beautifully - who would expect to meet the Fae there? Maggie, 16 years old, has been uprooted from her home in Florida and learns there is
