Valiant By: Holly Black  Imagine yourself walking in a sewer. You walk into the room and you hear something move. As you turn around and a skeleton creature attacks you. you grab a glass sword and cut its head off. If you think that sounds cool you should read the book Valiant. There are many more situations like this. I highly recommend this book because it has a little something for everyone.

The plot of this book is a mystery. Val has had some problems in the past but there is one problem that drove her over the edge. She has run away to new york and met a gang of outcasts. Now when things get crazy its up to Val and her new found friends to solve who is behind the faerie murders. This makes the book better to read because it’s a cliff hanger at the end of every page. This makes you want to keep reading and not put the book down.

All the characters in this book have had a rough past. They have all run away to new york. The characters consist of Val, Luis, Lollie, Sketchy Dave, Marby, Ruth, and Ravus. I like this cast of characters because there is variety. Some are human and others are faeries. This makes the story interesting because of the interaction. The characters make the book worth reading is because you will get attached to them through out the story.

The setting of this book is a dark and gloomy. There is a kinda twisted plot to a regular faerie tale. There is a lot of different places in the story. There is some parts where its a closed place, like a train. There are also driving sets and underground sets. Aside from the human sets there are also faerie sets. There are many kinds of sets in this book.

So as you can see this book is very interesting. It has many different sets. A variety of characters. And the best part it has something for everybody. So if you get a chance you should read this book.
