But it's not as straightforward as that. Because Rue is a faerie, like her mother was. And her father didn't kill her mother -- instead, he broke a promise to Rue's faerie king grandfather, which caused Rue's mother to be flung back to the faerie world. Now Rue must go to save her -- and must also defeat a dark faerie that threatens our very mortal world. <br><br> 2957223 book 1 10 2008 Kin (The Good Neighbors, Book One) total:479|5:73|4:190|3:158|2:52|1:6| 479 1709 772 141 4 1 false false Sat Jul 12 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 12 20:57:13 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 12 21:08:23 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Mar 13 16:15:53 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 13 16:16:26 -0700 2009

While Tithe by Holly Black wasn't my favorite book, I decided to give her another chance with this graphic novel. I had about an hour of downtime at ALA while waiting for my friend Debye, plus my feet were killing me, so I opened up this book.

1) It was even out yet.

2) It was a graphic novel.

However I think people have to put good drawing aside and think about plot for a second. It was disjointed and didn't make a lot of sense.
