I adore reading fantasy, so escaping to The Vail in J.A. Nielsen’s YA Fantasy, The Claiming, was a pleasure. But the characters! Dewy and Spence, a faerie princess and a human-mage, muddled with distinct personalities and magical mishaps, make this story especially charming. The chapters are short, the POV’s many, though also interesting and manageable, make every cause and effect—after effect—after effect quite the journey for Dewy and Spence to set things right.
Nielsen’s worldbuilding is spectacular from the marsh grasses under the town bridge to the battlefield to the Winter Court! This is surely a sweet and enchanting read, with all the emotions and feels, and I cannot wait to get my hands on book two, coming soon!
This book would be excellent for any age, middle grade and up! It would make a lovely gift for someone who likes magic, intrigue, and adventure. The Claiming is a sweet and whimsical read!

We just received the book last night and our daughter has not been able to put it down. She says it’s really exciting, unpredictable in a good way and hard to put down. She loves reading and has said this is a very good book.
