GameSpot gives it a 4.5/5:
After five or six hours, Faery: Legends of Avalon presents another all-black or all-white decision that makes no difference one way or another, because the game immediately ends the moment you make it. That sounds frustrating, but it's actually an appropriate conclusion to a game that ushers you from one insignificant decision to the next. Choice is good, but it rings hollow when you have no investment in the potential consequences. Thus, Legends of Avalon amounts to a bunch of bland missions separated by elementary turn-based battles that inspire only a few faint yawns. Pass on this particular fairy tale and you'll exponentially improve your odds of living happily ever after.
While NXT Gamer gives it a 6/10:
I can only assume, given the fairy-tale theme, that the entire game has been dumbed-down somewhat so that it may be understood by the youngest of gamers. If so, mission accomplished. I can only recommend this game to those trying to slowly train their kids to play more fully-featured RPGs, as it is so simple and inoffensive that even the most easily confused of child could likely wrap their head around it. Anyone over the age of 10, however, will find it nothing more than a throwaway exercise in tedium.
