Bones of faerie is book one of "the bones of faerie trilogy".
There is a book that ive been wanting to read for years called "the spiders' bride" that every time i type that in to the library databanks, the next closest is this book. Well. I'm finally reading this one.
I wasn't disappointed.
Its younger young adult fiction. The book itself follows the story of a girl named Liza who lives in a town where magic is shunned. To the point that children found to be carrying faerie traits have been killed or left to die in the elements.
She knows this because her father did this to her baby sister after she displayed the typical glass clear silver hair of the faeries.
There was a war. In the war it seems the faeries used magic. We used what was handy to us: nuclear weapons. Faeries seemed to be dead and gone but their magic lingered and twisted nature against the human world. Angry trees, wraiths of shadow, stones that explode at slightest touch.
Liza runs away to find that shes special in unexpected ways and that she was running towards something. Not just away.
You really end up liking the kids in this book. The author does a good job of making the situations and responses things that kids actually would do as opposed to the stereotypical -hes 9 but makes decisions like a 47-year-old trope-.
I liked it and look forward to reading the next books in the series.
