A review by caitlinxmartin
Some Kind of Fairy Tale by Graham Joyce

4.0

This is the first book I've read by Graham Joyce, but it won't be last. A classic tale of a child stolen by faerie and then returned, this novel will keep you reading and reading until the bitter end. All the elements are there - a mystery, a missing person returned, time and history elided and rediscovered. At times this book is so creepy it gets right underneath your skin and this is one of its strengths. I wasn't terribly fond of the descriptions of faerie and that's probably okay because whether or not that's the key to what happened remains unclear and this makes the entire experience mysterious and wonderful.
