This one felt more mature than the others. And for a moment I thought (hoped) it was going to end in a sad tone.

I love how this book treats Vida! She's such a compelling character!
I never really thought I would like book Vida (I was obsessed with movie Vida as a kid, tho!)
but this book? It made me love book Vida!
Why?
BECAUSE SHE HAS DEPTH!!
Unlike in [b:Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg|141745|Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg (Disney Fairies #1)|Gail Carson Levine|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1348267099l/141745._SX50_.jpg|1137049], where she isn't given much nuance (there are signs of it there, but not many) here, I ACTUALLY sympathize with her! She clearly cares about what others think, but she just doesn't show it. She's mean because the world is mean to her, but also because she KNOWS she's the best. I love it so much!
I also love how we (as a reader) get to see how she wants to be accepted for who she is. She wants friends, company, but she's unwilling to compromise her own individuality to please others. She thinks that Wisp is someone, who, although she's wreckless and stupid, is someone who could be her friend. Someone where Vida, with all her mistakes, crimes, and etc, could be accepted.
I also like how this book does show a potential friendship between Vida and Tink, and with this book, I really want to see more of their friendship in other books! Like, I legit loved this book! It was a really unique take on Vida's character, and I love how we not only get to see more of her personality, but we also get to see what drives Vida! And also, we get to see how Vida only has one way of belonging in fairy society, by being the FASTEST flier. She in a way, has a role in Pixie Hollow.. and belongs (again in a way) by being an outcast.
Just all in all, this book made me simp for Vida, and it really made me root for her! When usually, I never would. I loved her arc within the book, where she realizes she doesn't need a friend like Wisp, and how she shouldn't be seeking the approval of a foolish fairy. I also love how this book incorporated the lore of the main trilogy. That was really well done! Anyway, I just really like this book, and it might be my favorite book (so far) of the Tales of Pixie Hollow series'.

Reading this with Ellie. Vidia meets a new fast flying fairy who has no fear. Not to be outmatched Vidia and her race everyday with Wisps daring putting them in danger. Vidia goes to great lengths to be the fastest.

The title itself was an exciting premise because Vidia is the best, fastest flying-talent fairy there is in Pixie Hollow (dare I say it? She's the fastest in Never Land).
Truthfully, the part about Vidia finding out what Wisp did was predictable but I liked how the author resolved the part about who was the better flyer at the end. Just like speed-racing or horse-riding, speed or success isn't what defines a how good you are.
And that's what we sometimes forget, in our bid to prove ourselves to others.
