I haven't read any Charles de Lint in a while, and this was a real treat! I would say it's accessible to folks who haven't read any of his other Newford novels or short stories, but the characters probably have more interest and resonance if you've known them longer. There are really two interconnected storylines here: One storyline follows Jilly Coppercorn as she struggles to work and enjoy life the way she did before the events in The Onion Girl. The other storyline involves escalating conflicts between the Old World fairies who came over to North America with the European immigrants, and the Cousins, the native spirits and beings. A lot of familiar Newford faces are in the mix, but there are some equally interesting new characters, and the whole thing is hugely absorbing and enjoyable.
