Twenty years later (which feels fantasy-level surreal to say), I got to delve back into the world of magic and mundane with Black’s first adult novel, Book of Night.Ĭharlie Hall has a talent for trouble she is a skilled thief and con-artist, but a string of bad decisions and terrible relationships have led her to leave her life of crime. It was my first foray into urban fantasy. The story of a changeling girl living in modern suburban New Jersey and rediscovering the world of fairies that she came from sucked me in, and I have never forgotten the feeling of grit and teen angst and dark magic. I was 13 years old when I first read Tithe, Holly Black’s first novel. In our Book of Night book review, we venture into a world of shadows and murder with a gutsy con-artist.
