Normally the fae(Good Folk/Little Ones) only can be seen or heard by humans if they wish to do so. This book surrounds Nerya, who has a very special canny gift. They take and they take and… Oh my gosh, I am such Hamilton trash. They do not hesitate… they exhibit no restraint. The king’s enforcers will kill mercilessly, seeking out these individuals and their entire villages. Not only is anything involving these gifts illegal, even talking to or housing fae (or people who have) is punishable by death.Īutumn is the time of the Cull, and is even more dangerous for wandering travelers. These are all outlawed and punishable by death, unless it would work in the favor of the king, Keldec. There is a vast array of canny gifts, from being able to see the future, to altering people’s minds, to just heightened senses and skills. In this world, some people are blessed with canny gifts. Juliet Marillier’s writing flows so eloquently that it was impossible not to become addicted to this world after chapter one. It was so magical and whimsical, yet so full of adventure and mystery. Shadowfell was everything I could ever want in fae story. “It seemed to me it would be better to die standing up to a tyrant than to survive as a tool of his will.” Never in my wildest dreams did I expect the start of this series to blow me away like it did. I’ve felt sort of reading slumpy after A Court of Mist and Fury, so I figured a new series would be just what I needed. I offhandedly bought this series from Book Outlet one day and it’s just been sitting on my shelves.
