and i would love to read more... but i cant seem to find any that are not manga or anything. i want a novel type book that shows the true side of faeries. PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

i don't know about books but W.B. Yeats wrote some beautiful poetry about them, like "Come Away O Human Child".

Answer 2

I'm not familiar with those novels, so I can't be sure exactly what you are looking for. Nevertheless, you could read Stardust by Neil Gaiman. It's a fairly short, easy, and enjoyable read, and it was recently made into a movie that I haven't seen but was probably horrible.

Answer 3

There are quite a few more so don't worry yet.  Here are a few authors and titles.....

Blackbringer /by Laini Taylor. (2007)

Magpie Windwitch, faerie, devil hunter, and granddaughter of the West Wind, must defeat an ancient evil creature, the Blackbringer, who has escaped from his bottle and threatens to unmake all of creation.

Ruler of the Realm by Herbie Brennan. (2006)

While simultaneously trying to prevent and prepare for war between the Faeries of the Night and Faeries of the Light, Queen Holly Blue is kidnapped from her Uncle Hairstreak's home by human Henry Atherton and learns she must face another, far greater enemy

Faerie Wars by Brennan, Herbie (2003).

Troubled by family problems, Henry finds his life taking a whole new dimension when he and his friend, old Mr. Fogarty, become involved with Prince Pyrgus Malvae who has been sent from the faerie world in order to escape the treacherous Faeries of the Night.

The Hunter's Moon by Melling, O. R. (2005)

  

Gr. 8-11. Melling's fantasy series, the Chronicles of Faerie, is popular in Canada. For its U.S. debut, the author has expanded this title, which is the series' first installment. Gwen, an American, and her Irish cousin, Findabhair, hope to spend Gwen's visit to Ireland seeking “the Faraway World.” Both 16-year-olds are enamored with fantasy and Irish lore, but neither is prepared when, on the first night of their trip, the King of the Faeries whisks Findabhair away. Gwen's race around Ireland in pursuit of her cousin escalates into a mortal battle against archetypal, spiritual forces. Melling is an Irish history scholar, and she layers her fantasy with ancient battles, royalty, and Irish phrases (translated in an appended glossary) that, while sometimes purposefully inserted, add great depth to the thrilling action. Fans of Holly Black's Tithe (2003) will recognize a similarly dexterous juxtaposition of shifting worlds--opulent and mystical, realistic and contemporary--and they'll easily connect with both the story's timeless legends and modern teen emotions. Readers will cheer for timid Gwen, who, by the end of her quest, has become “a braveheart and a trueheart,” and teen girls will swoon over the dashing love interests who round out the appealing supporting characters. Shimmering with magic, myth, and romance, this is a lyrically told, richly satisfying adventure that will leave fantasy fans, like Gwen, feeling “lost and glad, caught up in the flow of forever.” Expect the sequel next spring.

Answer 4

Well, if you don't mind reading down, you can try The Spiderwick Chronicles. They're by the author of Tithe, Holly Black, and Tony DiTerlizzi. They're intended for 9-12-year-olds, but I love them!
