The second "Modern Tale of Faerie" it is only loosely connected to the first (Tithe) and can be read independently. For older teens, as it deals with issues of drug abuse and sex. Less about faeries than about taking responsibility for your life and your decisions and about breaking addiction. I found it slow for the first half, watching Val slide into whatever happened to be in front of her, trusting everyone and generally being stupid. The second half picked up and was much better as Val decided to grow a brain. At the end you are left with the feeling that the best part of her story is ahead of her.
