Novel referenced in Palimpsest.
Amazing journey into Faerie, with all the classic features, threshold guardians, test and allies, elixir etc. At one point September meets her death and sings it to sleep. Simply a joyous and dark romp. I think I'll reread it a few times.
Interesting to look at the structure as well, since it was written like Dickens, episodically and web-published. That's when fairy-tale structure really helps.
