![]() ![]() Feeling despondent over her identity, she decides to tell her mother she’s a changeling. Roiben sends Kaye on an impossible quest- find a faerie who can speak an untruth- meaning the two are separated for most of the book.įor Kaye, this is essentially a breakup. This, per fae law, means he has to give her a quest before she can see him again and be his consort. Kaye and Roiben are dating, but Kaye- feeling out of place in both the human and fae worlds- decides to formally declare her affection to Roiben. Roiben is king of the Unseelie court, Kaye is dealing with the knowledge she’s a changeling, and Corny is reeling from his abuse in the fae courts. ![]() So I’m not well read, but I know what a good faerie portrayel should contain, and Ironside has finally hit that mark. I’m no expert in the genre technically, but I have been doing reading and research since I am writing a book with fae in it, plus DND has exposed me to it… as well as my hatred for SJM’s fae. I suppose I should also note the irony of me declaring this a ‘good fae book’ when I read my first fae book in 2017 and… actually, all but one of the books I’ve read HAVE been by Holly Black. At this point I don’t know if I’ll read Valient or not, hence me skipping it. Yes, it goes Tithe, Valiant, then Ironside, but you do not need to read Valiant at all, and Tithe/Ironside are far more of a duology. There’s one thing to note before I shimmy down into this: The Modern Faerie Tales is a very bizarre trio of books. ![]()
