Some Books Ago is a shout out to all those books published some years ago. I don't want you to forget them!
Tithe by Holly Black is the book that made me love faeries. It actually got my attention because in Spanish it was called: The Dark Court's Tribute. I freaking loved that title, so I borrowed it and read it in one sitting. I'm not sure if I'd love it right now, but from what I remember Tithe is such a fun read. Roiben and Kaye were lovely characters and Holly's writing is perfect for fans of Cassandra Clare (and if I'm not wrong there's even a cameo of some Tithe characters in The Mortal Instrumens. Just saying!)
Anyway, if you're looking for quick reads and love faeries, this one is perfect for you!
Summary:
Welcome to the realm of very scary faeries!
Welcome to the realm of very scary faeries!
Sixteen-year-old
Kaye is a modern nomad. Fierce and independent, she travels from city
to city with her mother's rock band until an ominous attack forces Kaye
back to her childhood home. There, amid the industrial, blue-collar New
Jersey backdrop, Kaye soon finds herself an unwilling pawn in an ancient
power struggle between two rival faerie kingdoms - a struggle that
could very well mean her death.
This does sound like a fun read! I still need to read it sometime.
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing this series in the library all the time, when I was younger! I've not read any of the books though - faeries just aren't my thing. The Dark Court's Tribute sounds like such an epic book. I like that title more. :D
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend, Lis! =)
