Lud-in-the-mist hit that sweet mischievous mercurial fairy spot that I really love, they were creepy and capricious in all the right ways and the author had commendable prose and turns of phrase. Loved the little tidbits of world building and folk beliefs she intertwined in the story all about fairy lore.

What is your honest opinion about Lud-in-the-mist?
I really enjoyed the prose even if the plot itself was not that interesting for me overall.

I'm reading a series of books whose main common themes are the relationship between faerie and mankind. Now I've finished Lud-in-the-Mist and it has reinforced some of my beliefs concerning the relationship between the "enchanted world" and the world of man, and between paganism and Christianity.

Because whether the author intended as such or not, the end is horrifying. An eldritch abomination, spawned from a dead psychopathic rapist aristocrat returns to the world and uses delusion and murder to spread his influence over a city of law-abiding citizens, turning them into drug addicts, but that's fine because now they make good art.

I read the author later converted to Catholicism but I see no Christianity here to offer refuge and salvation from the predations of faerie. Only law and history, which as the book shows, are as fickle and delusional as the fairies themselves, and can offer no true refuge.

Now on to Little, Big, and then Jonathan Strange.
