However, at the very least, it is easier when you cooperate with others, and you actually find more than you were expecting when you do.<\/p>\n<p>Anne Elisabeth Stengl tells of Eanrin, the chief poet and Faerie, and his &#8220;love&#8221; of Gleamdren. When she is kidnapped, he decides that he will be the one to rescue her. However, his path is detoured after he meets a mortal girl. He learns a lot when his mission is postponed to take care of the mortal girl, but he realizes that he has been wrong about much of his views.<\/p>\n<p>All of the characters in Starflower are pretty easy to identify with; it won&#8217;t take long to see some of their qualities in your life. That, coupled with the underlying gospel message makes it a book that is easy to get engrossed in. There can be a few times that the story seems to lag a little, but it quickly picks up again.<\/p>\n<p>The plot jumps back and forth between a few key points, but they are all brought together in the end, and make for a great story. This is a good book to feed your craving for fairy-style stories, but have a Christian message to go with it.<\/p>\n<p>I received this book from Bethany House Publishers in exchange for reading it and reviewing it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is common to think that your actions will not affect someone else, and that you can live life just for yourself.
