Description

When seventeen-year-old Valerie runs away to New York City, she's trying to escape a life that has utterly betrayed her. Sporting a new identity, she takes up with a gang of squatters who live in the city's labyrinthine subway system.

But there's something eerily beguiling about Val's new friends. And when one talks Val into tracking down the lair of a mysterious creature with whom they are all involved, Val finds herself torn between her newfound affection for an honorable monster and her fear of what her new friends are becoming.

I'd been recommended Holly Black for good urban fantasy and a realistic depiction of kids on the streets, and Valiant definitely delivered.It was hard to get into at first, but before I knew it, I was sucked into the world of kids living beneath the subways in NY who divide their time between dumpster diving, running errands for trolls and faeries and shooting up a faerie medicine that lets them create illusions and convince others to do their will. One of those books that had been compulsively digging it out of my purse whenever I could catch a few minutes to find out what happened next.
