I think the reason why I love stories about power plays in the world of Fae is the drama of it all. There's always doublecrosses, people with their own agendas, ulterior motives, lies, betrayals, and, of course, quite a body court. They're seldom dull really. Holly Black always knows how to portray faeries as vicious, cruel, and crafty and I think that's what I love about these characters. Very morally grey but their actions and motives are understandable. I'll definitely be checking out the next book to see where it all leads.
