In a world where most of the faeries have forgotten most of their history and are content to live in ignorance of the world, there is one faerie who is fighting to keep the devils at bay. Magpie Windwitch is a tiny faerie with a big heart. She dreams of being like her idol Bellatrix and help keep th...
BLACKBRINGER was amazing. It is full of mystery, action, and best of all-Faries! But don't go thinkink "Oh another book about faries". BLACKBRINGER's faries are different, sarcastic, and full of magic. Pitch-perfect writing, Laini Tayor's debut novel is a stunner.
Originally reviewed here.Why I Read It: After reading and really enjoying Lips Touch: Three Times (review here), I decided I wanted to own ALL of Taylor's books, so I immediately put this on my "to buy" list. However, I noticed that the second book was not available to order on chapters.ca (I didn't...
I can handle bookish disappointments, but this is more disappointing than usual because Laini Taylor's other books (Daughter of Smoke and Bone and Lips Touch: Three Times) are some of my favorites.The author's usual magic and creativity when creating new, interesting worlds is there, but it's so muc...

The world-building is excellent, the dialogue brilliantly well-done and the story arc satisfying. I love crows in the real world, and Taylor's anthropomorphized crows delighted me. There...
Fairies. Crows. Magic. Excitement. Danger and dire consequences. Once you get into this book, it's hard to put down. Worth a read. Recommended. The sequel, "Silksinger", is out.
by Laini TaylorOkay, so yes, this book has been out for three years and I'm just now reading it. Pshaw! It's still a wonderfully written whammy of a story. There were several things I really enjoyed. First, the way in which the fairies as a culture have lost something. This is a theme which res...
Some time ago I read Holly Black’s The Spiderwick Chronicles, largely because I enjoyed the movie and the local bookstore had a nifty version with all five stories and extra illustrations in it. I liked it enough that I started taking into consideration the whole fairy fad going on these days. I’d b...
