Blackbringer by Laini Taylor (reviewed by Bear Schacht)

Magpie Windwitch, granddaughter of the West Wind, is a fairy, but unlike the other faeries she travels around with a bunch of crows catching snags (devils). These snags were all caught and trapped by the legendary hero Bellatrix (As a Harry Potter reader, that name threw me. Bellatrix the hero?) but after the mannies (humans) came along with their curiosity and stupidity and started opening the bottles the snags were trapped in, well, things took a turn for the worse. Then the greatest snag of all, worse then a snag, the Blackbringer is let lose. Now Magpie has to figure out how to stop it. Unfortunately, the faeries have forgotten much of their past, so the only one who knows the awnsers is the Djinn who dreamed up the world in the first place....

I enjoyed this book very much. It was a fun read, with an interesting take on the different species and a new magic system (I love those). Jacksmoke, do you really need any more reasons to read the book?!

Thanks, Bear. This (Faeries of Dreamdark) is one of my favorite new fantasy series too! Who doesn't love them some hardcore faeries?!
