Modern Faerie Tales Book 2: Valiant by Holly Black

Modern Faerie Tales Book 2
When seventeen-year-old Valerie runs away to New York City, she's trying to escape a life that has utterly betrayed her. Sporting a new identity, she takes up with a gang of squatters who live in the city's labyrinthine subway system.

But there's something eerily beguiling about Val's new friends. And when one talks Val into tracking down the lair of a mysterious creature with whom they are all involved, Val finds herself torn between her newfound affection for an honorable monster and her fear of what her new friends are becoming.

My Review: 4/5 Stars

Book two of the Modern Faerie Tales series and I gotta say it took me a little longer to get into the story. I was waiting for more action and adventure with faeries, though they were pretty present. But Val's story was pretty crazy, I gotta say. Even before the introductions of faeries. After a completely insane revelation, Val runs away and finds herself with homeless kids who run errands for faeries or one particular faerie, Ravus. She ends up striking a deal with him to help him run errands but she learns that faeries are getting killed and Ravus is trying to figure out by whom, despite the fact that the other faeries believe he is the murderer. Val sees more to Ravus and the fact that he is a troll. Back in the world of faeries and there is one more book left in this series. I know Kaye is the main character in the final book, but will Val make an appearance? I look forward to finding out!
