Do you think "crazy stupid faerie turned out to be formerly human bride of some faerie that dumped her" is dumb?
This is why I need to read faerie stories not just ACOTAR and some dark fantasy YA from 15 years ago about getting out of the goblin king's clutches. Anyways she sounds like Lestat when he talks about how much he loves blood and killing. I love tricking people into eternal servitude and using my goofy combat magic on humans. Um that's your brothers. How come vampires get to be vampires but when a faerie is like well I used to be human, now she's just a poser. No I don't even like Vampire Chronicals and I won't read any more of them, but I would never call a book "too" slow.
Do you guys have good faerie books I heard Cruel Prince is actually good but haven't gotten to it. Is there very much urban fantasy, with faeries?

There is a LOT of it; much of it is very bad.

Spinning Silver is my favorite fairy story in recent memory, with Olivia Atwater’s Half a Soul in close second—they’re both historical rather than contemporary but really excellent.

Silver in the Wood I really enjoyed as well in the historical fairy tale novel genre.

I’m struggling to come up with any urban fantasy with fairies in that I’d recommend reading in 2024—a lot of it is super fun but it’s not…great literature and I’d only recommend the stuff I’ve read under specific circumstances, you know?
