The modern faerie tales holly black6/19/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Now I can catch up until her next books releases. Ive meant to read a book by Holly Black since Cruel Prince was released but never made time for it. I read Tithe by Holly Black randomly after I saw that there was going to be a read-a-thon (#Faireathon) of Hollys fairy books. Highly recommended for fans of urban fantasy read with dark red wine and rich purple fruits. ![]() Holly Black deftly swings between the battered environment of the urban poor and the dark and exotic banquets of the Fey. Kaye is well drawn, exotic but relatable, and the story line executed to perfection. The first of three in a trilogy, Tithe is an exceptional story about a troubled girl coming to terms with her real identity. Soon after she is immersed in a cruel and beautiful conflict between warring factions of magical peoples. When they return to Jersey to live with her grandmother, this other world Faerie comes to find her. But she holds memories of her New Jersey childhood that provide a toehold into a different world one containing not so imaginary friends. Moms an alcoholic Kaye picks up after her and holds herself together by working in dumps and shoplifting. Kaye follows her band singer mother from crappy bar to crappy bar in northeastern US. ![]()
