Two excellent books I've read recently. Both very smart, beautifully written and entertaining, and also very different. In @faithdlee's The Fairy's Tale, cabbage fairy Bea finds that fulfilling her lifelong dream to be a fairy godmother isn't all it's cracked up to be when her story meets hard reality and her characters are actual people. With its assured worldbuilding, acerbic humour and political consciousness, The Fairy's Tale fills a good part of the hole Terry Pratchett's death left in my heart. @emilytesh's Silver in the Wood is a modern fairytale with a classic feel. Tobias has lived in the wood for longer than anyone can remember, but when Henry Silver enters his life, he can no longer hide from the outside world - or the past.
