Eeep! I'm going to be reviewing The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making in a few days here on FTF, but when I came across this earlier this week, I knew I wanted to work it in as soon as possible and make sure it got a Fairy Tale Fortnight mention.
Anyone else eagerly awaiting the chance to see what became of September's shadow?
Oh - AND IT'S PURPLE.
The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There by Catherynne M. Valente
272 pages
Expected publication: October 2nd 2012 by Feiwel & Friends
September returns to Fairyland to reunite with A-Through-L, Saturday, and Gleam, and to confront her shadow-self, who has become the queen of Fairyland-Below, the upside-down world beneath the Fairyland of the first novel, filled with creatures of water and shadow, tales of ancient Fairyland before the human world was born, and not a few hungry buffins, blind birds of ice and moonlight. The yearly revels of Fairyland-Below climax in a mysterious rite September must avert or else lose her shadow forever.

Yay, new book, new book! <3
ReplyDeleteI'm very anxiously awaiting it. I love that Fairyland-Below is upside-down. How could it not be upside-down.
ReplyDeleteI picked up a couple of her other books too and I'm anxious to get to them.
Oh my, another awesome series that I have not heard of! You so rock! This sounds like a good one, I'm going to to add these to my list, very high on my list ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for another great rec!!!
I LOVE this cover!!!! And furthermore, I want this book yesterday! Ahhh.
ReplyDeleteYES! I am SO excited for this one, in fact, I'm hoping I'll like it better than the first because it seems as if it'll have a bit of a darker feel. Not that the first was all sunshine and rainbows, but I'm excited about the shadows...also LOVE the cover.
ReplyDeleteYour reviews make me want to buy all the books
