David Brin
Science Fiction
This book is written in a fake-historial style, with plenty of footnotes. The footnotes were often used to hold various stories of farie, the type of stories where the humans usually end up dead/permanently disfigured.
I liked it, it created a nice history of magic in Britan (mostly false, but still good). A critisim might be that the story has little in the way of a great central plot, but if you are the type of reader that can enjoy the journey (i.e. readers of Neal Stephenson) rather than the ending, then this is a good fantasy novel that is a great read. It is nice to see magic being brought into the historical novel, makes it far more interested from my point of view.
