I love this^^ It'd be really fun if we got a quest like this someday! It'd be such a pretty badge
Right? It really would
Hoping you become a TC one day and can curate your own quest like your wonderful lists
We can only hope :)
Was just thinking the same!
ahh i love this list!! just finished Emily Wilde and loved it and am so ready to add of mound of these recs for to scratch the newfound faerie itch i have!
Just to say im SO happy you commented on this list bc Siobhan has introduced me to so many cool books!!! Most r still on my TBR but i read The Wind and the Wild (a faerie book!) and i ADORED it. One of my favourites i read last year!
oooo i’ll put that one on my TBR asap (edit: it’s actually already on my TBR lmao, ill move it to the front maybe then 👀)!! i was just browsing and found this list and knew i needed it in my life, hats off to OP!!
Oh yes do please read The Wind and the Wild, it's SO underrated!
Im also excited to see what faerie book youll choose next!!!!
Aw thank you, I hope you enjoy the recs! 😊And I relate to that feeling, that faerie itch is one that's always lingering at the back of my mind. Definitely in part because of the Emily Wilde series.
Awesome list!
Recs: War for the Oaks by Emma Bull Prince of the Sorrows by Kellen Graves The Fox and the Dryad by Kellen Graves The Moorchild by Eloise Jarvis McGraw A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare
Yayy thank you for all the recs! Definitely some interesting books here 👀
Truly a supreme list i would love as a quest! (I am this list’s number 1 fan)🤞
Aww thank you 🥹
Youre on ghe discover tab again!!!!!
Omg yay! That explains the sudden upvotes on this list again.
Oooh thanks for this list!
Oh! Lament and Ballad (two books) by Maggie Stiefvater!!!! I loved these as a teen SO MUCH and was so sad the final book in yhe trilogy (of interconnected stories) never came out.
Omg wait I can't believe I forgot about Lament, I read it years ago and it was so good! Didn't know the series was unfinished 🥲
Yes so sad :( it was gonna be called Requiem
i wish fairy oak had been translated in english! 😭 would be a perfect fit and lowkey everyone should read it.
anyway, cassandra clare’s series about the shadowhunters world all have fairies, but i dont know if that would fit, and if so if itd make sense to add the first book of the first series (city of bones) or what.
I will definitely still add Fairy Oak to this list! And good idea about adding Cassandra Clare's series!
I dont think A World’s Apart is on here but forgive me if it is! But that’s an upcoming faerie release!
What's the author? I can't seem to find it
Thank you!
Estranged by Ethan M. Aldridge Master of One by Jaida Jones and Dani Bennett Also Holly Blacks other works: the good neighbours, tithe, darkest part of the Forest, the stolen heir
This is such a good list!
Thanks, they're now added!
I love this! Seems to be a lovely mixture of whimsy and darker reads. I did want to add a few recs if you were taking any: Lore of the Wilds by Analeigh Sbrana Until the Clock Strikes Midnight by Alechia Dow The Moonsingers by Robyn J Pritzker A Rivalry of Hearts by Tessonja Odette Bargains with benefits by Jillian Witt Minor Works of Meda by Juliette Caruso
Thanks! Definitely looks like some interesting reads here!
