Okay I haven’t read the last Dragonwatch book yet, so I don’t know if this comes up, but I’m rereading the fourth book and in the first chapter, there’s the scene where Kendra and Bracken talk to the Fairy Queen in her palace. It just made me realize - the Fairy Queen is a unicorn, so why would she have wings? Did Risenmay maybe give her wings, when she stepped down from being Fairy Queen?

please give us the analysis of ”fairy queen as major traitor” 🥺

As you wish <3

So then! Warning for some spoilers from Wrath of the Dragon King and Master of the Phantom Isle.

Kendra meets Risenmay, a true fairy. She’s a human sized fairy naturally and reveals to Kendra that all Fairy Queen’s other than the current were True Fairies, which makes sense seeing how it’s the Fairy Queen. Risenmay also refers to the Fairy Queen (current) as a swan in comparison to humans. The True Fairies do not like the Fairy Queen.

The Fairies reaction to it, and the way that they all seem to be in hiding leads me to believe that the current Fairy Queen did not take the crown peacefully.

The crown itself is what denotes the Queen, when Kendra wore it she was the queen. It’s interesting that the Queen informed Kendra that she wouldn’t know what to do with it, when the Queen herself seems to struggle to use it’s connection to her power.

She’s weaker than Kendra in a way, limited in the power she draws. She’s unable to do things to help Kendra (re: Fablehaven books the originals) because she’d expended too much power. All of this is strange since she and Kendra have the same power source, but Kendra seems to have a never ending well of power.

I think that being fairykind gives Kendra that direct connection, and she doesn’t know how to use it. The Fairy Queen has the connection through the crown, but struggles to pull it through her as she’s not the proper kind of queen, she’s the conqueror, she does know how to use the power though.

Seeing this as the Fairy Queen is the conqueror, she betrayed the previous Queen for the crown. She took over by force, and it’s why she struggles with the powers. This could also be an element of why Ronodin betrayed her. She was a traitor first, and perhaps he didn’t approve of it.

On this note, Kendra’s connection to their power being stronger is interesting, and it almost seems as if the Queen takes advantage of it, having Kendra do things for her. It’s possible that she gave Kendra this connection because she viewed Kendra as someone she could get to do things for her.

Anyways, the Fairy Queen isn’t the traitor to the group as is, but I do see her as a traitor to her Queen, and I don’t believe that she really deserves that crown.
