Trylle: The Complete Trilogy

Amanda Hocking — 2015

When Wendy Everly was six years old, her mother was convinced she was a monster and tried to kill her. Eleven years later, Wendy discovers her mother might have been right. She's not the person she's always believed herself to be, and her whole life begins to unravel--all because of Finn Holmes. Finn is a mysterious guy who always seems to be watching her. Every encounter leaves her deeply shaken...though it has more to do with her fierce attraction to him than she'd ever admit. But it isn't long before he reveals the truth: Wendy is a changeling who was switched at birth--and he's come to take her home. Now Wendy's about to journey to a magical world she never knew existed, one that's both beautiful and frightening. And where she must leave her old life behind to discover who she's meant to become...

for my 10th birthday my aunt gifted this book to me second hand and i spent the entire year reading it in english class. this was actually the first proper ya book i read, and i have to admit for a 10 year old i really enjoyed the book(even though a 10 year old probably SHOULDNT b reading this). i really think the trilogy is super underrated and doesn't get the love and attention it deserves. it's definitely one of my favourites, although i need to re-read it. To sum it up, this is definitely worth the read. (and if/when you read it, definitely read the Kanin Chronicles next. i just finished them and omg)

+10

So this was a nostalgia reread and ... as much as I loved this series in middle school ... this was not great. If there had been more details written in and more time spent on developing the characters and plot, this book series probably would have been a lot more popular. But re-reading it, it's very bare-bones and has not one, but two cases on insta love. Also (view spoiler)[ an epilogue with pregnancy is something I completely blocked out so there's that (hide spoiler)] Overall, 3 stars, and my need to reread this series has been settled. And please future me just spare yourself the urge to reread this and pick up a different bad early YA series instead.
