The Uncertain Places

Another book about the realm of Faerie. This one involves generations of a family where daughters are taken to fight in a never-ending war. This book feels a little more like fluff than Thomas the Rhymer, probably because the prose is not as scrumptious and there's a lot more action. It also is a play on the fairy tale trope of the prince saving the princess, in this case, a young college student trying to save his girlfriend and her family from an ancient bargain with the Faeries. It won the Mythopoeic Award in 2021.
