The Darkest Part of the Forest

This book really knocked my socks off. It was interesting, exciting, well-paced, and well-written. Not one word was wasted. It was sort of a young adult, modern, smaller scope take on Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell. It's about faeries in the woods near a present-day American town and the teenage girl and her gay brother who try to save it from them. Everything about the book is satisfying: the plot, the characters, the world-building, the dark tone. It wasn't nominated for any LGBTQ awards, unfortunately, but was nominated for a Mythopoeic Award.
