All three books are described as “A Modern Tale of Faerie”, and that’s what they are, putting faeries in prosaic locations like New Jersey and New York City — hardly the first or the last time it’s been done. They actually reminded me a lot of the Bedlam’s Bard series by Mercedes Lackey and Rosemary Edghill, only not quite as complex. (link)

I giggled a bit at this, ’cause though I did love the BB books when I was in high school, I’d call them some of the most *straightforward* and un-complex of the early crop of “modern faerie” novels. “Folk of the Air” and “Jack the Giant Killer” might be better examples. Really, if you’re looking at something less complex than the BB books, I’m wondering how stripped down the genre’s gotten.
