A re-read. I enjoyed it once again. The characterizations are excellent and I love the different take on faery culture and history. [Mar. 2009]

In general I like the idea of fairies while really resenting their cutesy image (yes, Tinkerbell, I’m talking about you). So Anderson’s debut book, which keeps the tiny size of fairies while making them much more complicated and interesting had that going for it from the start. In addition, it managed to make the faery society both sympathetic and deeply flawed. Very well done! [2009 in books]
