Borderland
Borderland | Terri Windling
7 posts | 4 read | 7 to read
The land of fairy returns, and its a messy reunification at best. The land between the normal human world and fairy is called "The Border" a place where one can easily become lost--or found. In the rements of evacuated cities from this rebirth the two worlds come together in Bordertown, where magic and technology don't always work. The town is teeming with the outcasts, run-aways and dreamers of both fairy and earth children.

This wavered between a pick and so-so, but I'm feeling generous so I'll give it a low pick. Its gritty urban fantasy, although the first story seemed more post-apocalyptic dystopian fiction. I don't believe I'd be interested in following the series any further. 3 🧝‍♂️🧝‍♂️🧝‍♂️

📖 Borderland and Beyond The North Wind
📽 LoTR, The Expanse TV series
📖 I almost always read the book first. I did buy The Last Wish after I heard about The Witcher TV series. I haven't read it yet.

Once upon a time (isn't that the way humans always start a story?) there was magic in the world, or so your bards and storytellers of old have always claimed: elven lords in dark forests and sumptuous halls beneath the hills, dragons curled in mountain caverns sleeping upon hoarded gold, Nereids in woodland streams, merman in the cold gray sea.

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description or reason for wanting to read the book. Some are old and some will be new. Don't judge me - I have a lot of books.

Not finding a lot of time to read right now and haven‘t gotten into a good routine here yet. Stealing a few minutes in Bordertown while I can.

So, this is what Urban Fantasy looked like in the 80s. Way less romance, way more grit. Not sure exactly when that started to change but I seriously miss the old stuff.

And I just spent $81 on these three books that I‘ve wanted for soooo long. Part of me knows that‘s a ridiculous amount to spend but the rest of me can‘t wait to read them in November.

When the out of print, used & worn, mass market paperback you ordered online comes to you wrapped with this kind of care, you know you picked the right bookseller. Thanks for keeping it safe, Smith Family Bookstore.
