“Valiant” is the second book in Holly Black’s “Modern Faerie Tales” trilogy and features a different set of main characters than the first book, “Tithe.”
As in the first book, Black weaves a story that balances between showing the wondrous parts of fairyland and the wicked side. She puts her human characters through it, especially the main character Val.
This book was dark in a different way than “Tithe,” with much of the story centered around the main characters’ abuse of a fictional drug called Nevermore.
