Valiant : A Modern Tale of Faerie
After some unpleasant news on the homefront, Val(erie) runs away to the city and joins street kids,Luis, Dave and Lolli, who squat in an abandoned subway tunnel when not running errands for Ravus, a Knightly troll cum faerie pharmacist.

Great read but drug culture is depressing
what book to read next

It will make sense with Tithe later, I think. I get the sense that we have seen just 2 sides of a much larger struggle between the faerie courts. | |

This was a good mix of the real and fantastical. I liked the way Val finds the strength in herself to help her new friends, both human and other. I also liked how Black interspersed faery folk among the buildings and parks of Manhattan and New Jersey. I look forward to reading the first book in the series, Tithe. |
