elizabeth marie pope really revolutionized the game when she decided to write a ballad of tam lin retelling about the relationship between janet and the queen of the fairies, while tam lin just incidentally happened to be there

#i mean i have no idea whether this was her intention. but it's very much what this whole thing read like to me #i'll admit the whole 'human growing into his death mask' transformation he was undergoing in the fae realm was interesting #but it's a relatively small portion of the book. and aside from that he's kind of nothing.#we don't even get to see the resolution to his personal overarching story (the reunion/reconciliation with his brother)#to be clear this isn't me complaining about the book. i'm just thinking aloud about the novel direction pope went with this story #the perilous gard
