#FaeFriday was created to help fill the hole in Kristy’s life after #FridayFavorites was discontinued. The idea behind this weekly blog prompt is that each Friday will have a bit of magic sparkled on it with a bookish prompt inspired by the Fair Folk! #FaeFriday is the creation of Kristy from Caffeinated Fae!
This Week’s Prompt: Autumn is in the air, and the autumn court is in the spotlight. The autumn court is full of strange and beautiful faes who can have a slight sadistic side. This week’s prompt is dedicated to those sadists, which is why this curious wannabe fae wants to know: What are some of your go-to authors that make it hurt so good.
The first one that comes to my mind here is Kieron Gillen. Every comic series I have read from him has taken me on an exciting ride of emotional turmoil and I cannot recommend my favourites (Die and The Wicked + The Divine) enough.
I have also found myself experiencing this while reading through The Dresden Files series. I wasn’t really sure what to expect starting with these books, but Jim Butcher has quite unexpectedly delivered some powerful emotions over the course of the five books I have finished so far.
And for a third, I think I’d say Leigh Bardougo. So far I have only read the Six of Crows books by her, but they really played with my emotions the whole way through! I got to watch a friend of mine read them for the first time recently and seeing her go through all of that was actually pretty entertaining from the other side.
