The Good Neighbors: Kind Holly Black, art by Ted Naifeh
The faeries have taken over town. Rue's mother is in charge and keeping her (literally) underground. Amanda, the other folklore professor has created a human army to fight back. Rue has a plan to make it all stop, but at what outcome.
Someone I missed this one when it came out and it had been a looooooooooooooooooong time since I read Kith and it took me awhile to remember what was going on. I highly recommend that you read all three books together and wish they had been published as 1 book (maybe they will now that they're all out?)
It was a good and... interesting conclusion to the story. I was a little detached from the boy drama, but I think that's just because I had been away from the series for so long that I couldn't easily remember the relevant details, so that's all on me.
I like how Black's work returns us to the darker side of fairies (I mean, we never even remember that even Tinkerbell was originally not that nice. Pretty, yes, but also jealous and spiteful.) Naifeh knows how to draw a good glare.
Overall I really liked the series. I'm just having a hard time explaining why.

As she begins to investigate, she discovers that her mom is really a faerie, who has returned to the faerie realm because of a broken promise. In order to save her mother, Rue must fight a
Except for the fact that I thought the artwork was at least "pretty," I have to say I'm with you on this one.Regarding what I call "serial" books--portions of a multi-volume serial that are not complete novels by themselves--being nominated for awards: I just don't know how anyone can even begin to judge the individual portions of a serial within a traditional book award. I believe part of what
I'd like to hear from someone who doesn't agree. They have to be out there - the nominated the book and sent it into the final round! But seriously, in talking with people casually about this, I have yet to find anyone who is able to make a case for serial titles being judged on an individual basis. And I can't help wonder what got pushed out byt these serial titles. It cannot be the case that
This is just a side comment more than anything else, but if someone could please start a blog called The Unicorn Contingent, I'd be delighted.
I'd check with Holly Black, Fuse. Maybe Mikki Knudsen, I understand she's sympathetic to the cause. Maybe someone can come up with Pride and Prejudice and Unicorns as a rejoinder as well.
