Tithe A Modern Faerie Tale Holly Black 9780606300742 Books

I've read several books on fearie with similar theme by Raconteur, Neighbors, Wheeler, McIsaac, Drummond, Moore, etc - and lots of other books by Holly Black so this had to be a good combo. This one was similar of the idea of a teen girl human with lot's of teen angst issues but in this one was certainly a twist similar to Drummond's Druid series in which she finds herself being part of something from childhood she didn't realize she is born into - not just an outsider. The further she goes she realizes more and more she goes into a rabbit hole and the the worse things get for she and her friends. But on the other hand she does meet a love interest along the way so nothing so bad about that. Overall a pretty interesting story with political intrigue between the Seelie and Unseelie Courts/Rulers and the main character Kaye that kept my interest all the way through.

Tithe A Modern Faerie Tale Holly Black 9780606300742 Books Reviews

3.5 stars

I liked it too much to be 3 stars but not quite enough to give it 4, but that’s what I did. It starts off great but quickly segues into a little silly. But it picks up rather quickly and turns interesting.


The author hooked me from the opening segment Kaye puts a cigarette butt in her mom’s beer. Had to keep reading after that.

I found it hard to believe that Kaye became friends so fast with Corny…and that she cared so much about his well being. In my mind, and according to the book, I had him pictured as a goofy, ugly-ish teenager with no friends. (His first scene in the book led us to believe that he had mental issues, at the very least.)

The story she created was fascinating. I loved all the various creatures. It was easy to get inside her creation. She did a wonderful job of describing everything. The book was fast paced with lots of entertainment.

There were a lot of mysteries going on within the story. Some were easy to figure out but many were not. I was still uncertain till the end. AND there are still many mysteries to be solved with the coming books. I’m not certain at this time if I will be reading them, as I’m doing the PopSugar 2015 reading challenge. But I’ll keep them in my radar.

While you might think of Amanada Hocking's Trylle when you think of this book, dont. It's completely different. And as much as I like Hocking (and have read every book) this is actually a better, more well written book.

If you are looking for a book for your teens to read you should be aware that there is lots of language in this book, plus some mature themes, and of course, a romance with several kisses.
I was told about this story and had heard the author is well regarded, so decided to read this. The beginning was kind of intriguing, but I didn't really like the main character, and as the story progressed I found the tale less and less interesting. The plot moves along quickly, but all the descriptions are very shallow, with turns developing conveniently without any overall logic. Yes, perhaps faerie worlds don't follow human logic, but there is nothing very original here. I especially disliked it when the human main character (spoiler alert!) turns out to be perhaps not human, after all. This reads like a story for 12 or 13 year olds, and that age-group may find it more interesting that an adult reader will.
Kaye follows her band singer mother from crappy bar to crappy bar in northeastern US. Mom’s an alcoholic; Kaye picks up after her and holds herself together by working in dumps and shoplifting. But she holds memories of her New Jersey childhood that provide a toehold into a different world; one containing not so imaginary friends. When they return to Jersey to live with her grandmother, this other world – Faerie – comes to find her. Soon after she is immersed in a cruel and beautiful conflict between warring factions of magical peoples. The first of three in a trilogy, Tithe is an exceptional story about a troubled girl coming to terms with her real identity. Kaye is well drawn, exotic but relatable, and the story line executed to perfection. Holly Black deftly swings between the battered environment of the urban poor and the dark and exotic banquets of the Fey. Highly recommended for fans of urban fantasy; read with dark red wine and rich purple fruits.
