I decided that it was time to re-read this one. Even though I've read this twice already, Feist is scaring the crap out of me, to the point that I have to set it aside sometimes. I will be with it for a few more days, I'm sure, even though I'm putting today's date on the review. I can do this because I know my rating won't change, esp. since GoodReads doesn't let a person give a book more than 5 stars. Damn, this is scary!

Edited by Amen Pendleton Retrieved 7 November 2023 In the 1485 book Le Morte d'Arthur, Morgan le Fay, whose connection to the realm of Faerie is implied in her name, is a woman whose magic powers stem from study. [91] While somewhat diminished with time, fairies never completely vanished from the tradition. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is a 14th-century tale, but the Green Knight himself is an otherworldly being. [89] Edmund Spenser featured fairies in his 1590 book The Faerie Queene. [92] In many works of fiction, fairies are freely mixed with the nymphs and satyrs of classical tradition, [93] while in others (e.g., Lamia), they were seen as displacing the Classical beings. 15th-century poet and monk John Lydgate wrote that King Arthur was crowned in "the land of the fairy" and taken in his death by four fairy queens, to Avalon, where he lies under a "fairy hill" until he is needed again.

Roiben (Rath Roiben Rye)– A noble Seelie knight traded to the Unseelie Queen before the beginning of the novel as part of a truce agreement between the courts. He is a strong fighter and feared by many. He has a strong attraction to Kaye for reasons he does not initially understand. He is one of the main supporting characters along with Corny. Inwardly hating the cruelty he is forced to perform for his new Queen, he thus harbours deep feelings of self-loathing and self-despair. Bianculli, David (October 28, 2004).

King James I, in his dissertation Daemonologie, stated the term "faries" referred to illusory spirits (demonic entities) that prophesied to, consorted with, and transported the individuals they served; in medieval times, a witch or sorcerer who had a pact with a familiar spirit might receive these services. [25] The English fairy derives from the Early Modern English faerie, meaning ' realm of the fays'. Faerie, in turn, derives from the Old French form faierie, a derivation from faie (from Vulgar Latin fata, ' the fates'), with the abstract noun suffix -erie.

Nephamael– Initially a knight of the Unseelie court, he is traded for Roiben as part of the Queen's truce. He hates his new "home" and delights in taking the throne of the Night Court for himself at the end of the novel. He is cruel, manipulating and ruthless, and takes great pleasure in toying with humans and lesser faeries, especially when he meets Corny, whom he makes his pet. He ultimately pays the price for his cruelty, slain by Corny in a fit of murderous insanity whilst under the influence of magic.
The author did his research, but in the end I didn't much like what he did with it. I'm something of a student of Faerie, and I found that the evil character didn't ring true to the lore I have read. I also found the father character to be a bit of a Mary-Sue, and the teenage daughter character to be unrealistic. I didn't like what he did with the mother character at all; she was not very well rounded, almost an afterthought in a lot of scenes. a b Silver, Carole B.

Tree and Leaf. George Allen and Unwin. Fairy, as a noun more or less equivalent to elf, is a relatively modern word, hardly used until the Tudor period. The first quotation in the Oxford Dictionary (the only one before A.D. 1450) is significant. It is taken from the poet Gower: as he were a faerie. But this Gower did not say. He wrote as he were of faerie, "as if he were come from faerie". a b c d e f g h i j k Graves, Alfred Perceval. (1909), The Irish Fairy Book. London: T. Fisher Unwin, Retrieved 22 November 2017In Scottish folklore, fairies are divided into the Seelie Court (more beneficently inclined, but still dangerous), and the Unseelie Court (more malicious). While fairies of the Seelie Court enjoyed playing generally harmless pranks on humans, those of the Unseelie Court often brought harm to humans for entertainment. [43] Both could be dangerous to humans if offended. a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q Croker, Thomas Crofton (1828). Fairy Legends and Traditions of the South of Ireland vol. 3. London: John Murray. Retrieved 6 November 2017. Corny (Cornelius Stone)– Janet's older brother. He is quite antisocial and even entertains murderous fantasies, but he ends up bonding with Kaye. Along with Roiben, he is one of the main supporting characters. He is a computer geek who loves comic books and manga - yaoi in particular. He is gay and out to his sister and family, and comes out early on to Kaye. He enthusiastically helps Kaye when she discovers her faerie nature, but he is eventually seduced, enchanted, and captured by Nephamael who makes him his lover and slave. Corny seems to have a taste for submission and a certain level of pain, but he gets more than he bargained for with Nephamael. Takes On New Properties from U.S. Companies". World Screen.
