I loved Tithe for its mix of vivid downbeat imagery, small-town teenage life grittiness and a confident use of all faerie tropes. The quest takes Kaye and Corny to New York, where they have a go at exploring the urban part of the faerie world, where exiled fey deal in drugs and a boy with True Sight tries to help people deal with the feral curses. But in the world of faerie courts, war is brewing and Kaye and her gay friend Corny find themselves involved in the intrigues between Silarial, queen of the Seelie Court and Roiben. She confesses to her mother and sets off to the Seelie Court to recover the original changeling. Her life, insecure at best, seems to completely fall to pieces. She can't see or speak with Roiben unless she can find a faerie who can lie. Kaye, insecure in her new pixie identity, full of love for Roiben and drunk on faerie wine, declares herself to him and ends up sent on a seemingly impossible quest. Ironside picks up two months after the momentous events of Tithe, the winter solstice (and Christmas) is approaching and in Faerie, Roiben is being crowned as a King of the dark Unseelie Court. In fact, she is a changeling, a green pixie who has grown up as a human child and only recently discovered her true nature. Kaye Fierch is a sixteen year old girl, high-school drop-out with a rock'n'roller mother. The Modern Faerie Tales series includes the excellent Tithe, Valiant and the newest volume titled Ironside, which ties together the plot lines of the previous two books while being of a more direct sequel to Tithe.
