Wishes and Wings is book #3 of The Faeries’ Promise series, so there was some background that was necessary to understand the story.  The story revolves around Alida, a faerie princess, whose mother is the queen of all the faeries.  Alida had been recently reunited with her family after being kidnapped and spending years locked away in the human lord’s castle tower.  She became friends with a human boy, and together they were able to escape the wicked lord’s castle.  The boy, Gavin, joins the faerie realm and together they all move back to their original homeland, through a long and treacherous journey.  Once there, the faeries work on rebuilding their community but the difference from before is that the lord’s soldiers are looking for them.  They must use their magic to conceal their existence, only Gavin knows.  Their work is interesting and there are a couple of times when the soldiers are close to catching them.  It isn’t too difficult to catch up on the previous two installments of this series, but it is difficult to read this as a stand alone novel.  As a series, it is worthy of having in the library and I have already ordered books one and two.
