In light of the Summer solstice also known as Midsummer... let's talk about faeries. What is your favorite fairy tale or story that revolves around the fae?
This is a toughie. Regarding fairy tales, I love the original Grimm versions, not the Disney retold versions. But I do like some retellings like Spindle's End (Sleeping Beauty) and more recent retellings like Entwined.
Regarding fae books, I LOVE the Wicked Lovely series by Melissa Marr. No question. I own the entire series, and it's one that I could reread over and over again. The different fae are all so interesting and lovable in their own fashions.
I also love Prince Ash from the Iron Fae series by Julie Kagawa. And Puck is an awesome character as well.

Hey - stopping by through Follow Friday. I must just say that your blog has blown me away! Great job guys!
ReplyDeleteI also know what you mean by the original Grimm tales vs the Disney versions - to read, the originals are much better. I haven't read a lot of fae books, so I'm going to have to do my homework after this question. ;)

ReplyDeleteCheers & Happy Writing~
I definitely agree with you about preferring the un-Disneyfied versions of fairy tales. It's interesting to go back and see how much darker the stories were than how Disney told them (I'm looking at you, Little Mermaid).
ReplyDeleteHopping through. I am totally Team Ash. I can't wait for Iron Knight.
