This novel's rather tired quest motif, however, pales beside the more complex and multi-faceted plots of the first parts of the trilogy, The Hunter's Moon (which won the Ruth Schwartz Award) and The Summer King. As Dana hikes over the Irish hills, meeting new creatures everywhere she turns, The Light-Bearer's Daughter begins to look like nothing more than a vehicle for Melling's extensive knowledge of fairy legend and lore. For middle readers and young adults who can't get enough fantasy, The Light-Bearer's Daughter offers an afternoon or two of pleasant escapism. But it doesn't compare with works like David Almond's Heaven Eyes, or even Melling's previous fantasy novels, most notably The Singing Stone. --Lisa Alward
As Dana grapples with her father's decision, she is unwittingly drawn into the world of Faerie. She encounters a mysterious young woman who calls her into the woods. There, Dana is charged with an important mission: she must carry an urgent message from the High King of Faerie to his second-in-command deep in the mountains. If she succeeds, Dana will be granted her heart's desire - any wish will come true.
But why has the High King of Faerie chosen Dana for this mission, and what does it have to do with her long-lost mother? --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
