In the Faerie world, there are two courts: the Seelie and
the Unseelie or the Light and the Dark. The Unseelie are
comprised of evil, maruading creatures while the Seelie
court houses heroes and role models. Of course, this all
depends on the readers' perception. In this exciting
anthology, the reader must decide whether or not they buy
into the typical Unseelie or Seelie theme.
The first story found in COURTS OF THE FEY immerses the
reader into the Faerie world and theY can expect to remain
there with slight diversions of the human variety. There
are some stories that will make the reader sad, others that
evoke a happier emotion, and some that contain a little bit
of both. The authors all have different qualities and
varying writing styles that will keep the reader interested
in the anthology. The characters can be a bit hard to get
to know, but they are short stories. The events, for the
most part, are moderately paced and vary by author. the
wonderful aspect of this anthology is the ability to see
many different sides of a popular mythology bound in one
convenient source. A reader with an interest in faeries
with enjoy COURT OF THE FEY. The question is, which side
will you find yourself favoring?
Fantasy, whether classic or contemporary, has always been
based on the conflict between the forces of Light and
Darkness. Now some of the genre's most inventive authors
bring readers into the Seelie Court, where all serve the
Queen of Air and Light, and the Unseelie Court, where the
forces of Darkness hold sway.
