![]() ![]() ![]() A lone fairy, Magpie Windwitch, has revived the practice of demon-hunting, and travels the world with a troupe of actor crows in search of demons to rebottle before they can cause mischief and destruction. Since then, the fairies have declined from once-great masters of magic and knowledge to smaller, more insular tribes. (Humans, apparently, are an anomaly no one saw coming.) Four thousand years ago, the Djinn withdrew into hibernation. ![]() In Blackbringer, eight Djinn wove the Tapestry of the world, including fairies. This isn’t it, incidentally-it’s actually Taylor’s debut novel, but in many ways it’s even better. My landlady happened to borrow Blackbringer (or Dreamdark: Blackbringer for those in favour of colon book titles) from the library while seeking the third instalment of the Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy. I’m not saying I’m book-stalking Laini Taylor. ![]()
