Hello guys!
Today I'm reviewing Catherynne M. Valente's The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There, the second book from the Fairyland series. Although there are characters and references to the first book, people, including myself, can enjoy it without reading the first book.
The book takes place about a year after the events of the first book.
With her father at war, September only has Sundays and a visit to Fairyland to look forward to. That's when she sees a strange rowboat...and suddenly, before she knows it, she's in Fairyland. But things are not jolly and sunny as they're supposed to be.
Shadows are being sucked into from Fairyland to Fairyland Below. September must find out why and stop it from happening... but that'll be difficult when the cause of it all is Halloween, the queen of Fairyland Below, and her own shadow.
Join September on a rollicking adventure with fairies, shadows, dragons and even a Minotaur!
This book is very enjoyable, and like I said before, you don't need to read the previous book, although you might want to.
The story-line is amazing and it really inspires you.
