Praise for Fayborn
Amazon – 4.5 out of 5 Stars
“Ingenious blend of mythology, fantasy, and hints of Shakespeare.” -MelBel
“Couldn’t put it down! I highly recommend it!” -Kim Hayes
“Unlike anything I’d read before. Extraordinarily well-written juxtaposition of the modern day and ancient fairy tales.” -Stephen H. Dause
“Wootton creates a wonderfully believable landscape of the real world… only mixed with faerie magic.” -ChiliTraveler
“You get lost in the world that Wootton creates.” -Aaron Roth
“Intricately woven, and cleverly written!” -Bookfan
“Well written, with a beautiful array of characters and plot twists.” -Teresa Brady
“An interesting premise, engaging characters, and startlingly beautiful passages drew this reader in.” -Thequietone
Barnes & Noble – 4.8 out of 5 Stars
“Fayborn takes you on a journey from skepticism to wonder, and maybe, like Petra, you’ll find yourself believing in a world we didn’t think could possibly exist.” -Edoraseowyn
“Great read! Wholeheartedly recommended.” -Anonymous
“Combines deep knowledge of Faerie with a thoroughly entertaining plot. If you enjoyed Susanna Clarke’s Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, Guillermo del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth, or classics like The Chronicles of Narnia and The Lord of the Rings, you will find Fayborn a very satisfying read.” -DSewall
“One of the best modern fairytales I’ve read to date! Gripping, visual, moving, and deeply surprising.” -Wren_Stanchen
Book Bloggers, Independent Reviewers
“I had to wait a year for the second book in this series, and the anticipation was beyond palpable.” -Just Anther Rabid Reader
“Richly and engagingly drawn… Petra is a strong and sparky character, with an un-self-conscious voice which Wootton writes well.” -Evie Woolmore, author of The Salt Factory
“Intricate craftsmanship.” -Bibliophile’s Retreat
“A cheeky wink at literature lovers… Fayborn has the potential to become a modern classic.” -Rabid Readers Too
“Borrows the whimsical style of Lewis Carroll, the poetic style of W.B. Yeats, and the dark, brooding style of Bram Stoker.” -Magnolia Blossom Reviews
“Pure magic! Like a modern Alice in Wonderland with a touch of Narnia.” -Disincentive Reviews
Goodreads – 4.4 out of 5 Stars
“Pulled me right in… has that delicious thrill, reminds you why you started reading fantasy… Petra is warm and convincing, with a stubborn streak and a loving heart.”
-Masha du Toit, author of Strange Neighbours and The Story Trap
“Delightfully engrossing… brilliant, well-studied, and original. Restores my faith in the genre.” -Rachel
“Provides a tangible, closer-to-home fairytale feel… Reads fast, leaves you hungry for more!” -Dhknight
“Robust fantasy that explores complex issues and seamlessly blends original and classic!” -Lanternwaste
“Builds and maintains suspense without bluntly resorting to displays of power.” -Nathan
“A fresh, inventive take on fairyland-with-us.” -Daniel
“Intellectual and engaging… the reader is never overwhelmed by the different threads of the story.” -Pam Bailey
“A book to pause and savor as you read… Wootton undoubtedly derives influence from Neil Gaiman without being derivative; fans of Diana Wynne Jones will also feel at home here.” -Nathan
“Brings the fantasy tradition of Tolkien and Lewis into the post-modern world… weaves Faerie history into a story filled with characters that I loved – and loved to hate.” -Katy
“Could not put the book down. Can’t wait for the sequel!” -Jim

“This clever and well-read author makes me want to look around with a different eye.” -Discoverer
“I have a special appreciation for books that make me stay up and keep reading no matter how late it is or how tired I am… Whimsical, highly entertaining, and appropriately mind-boggling. -Preludetorain
