Summary

Iris Compiet is the rarest of artist: That who invokes a complete and cohesive reality with every image she creates。 Beautiful， powerful and contemplative all at once。 — Guillermo Del Toro

Let me tell you about Faeries， let me take you away on a journey， an adventure。

The Faultlines is an ancient name given to those places where the veil between this world and the Other is thinnest。 It is the place where faeries dwell， creatures creep， and magic oozes through the cracks。 Recently the Faultlines have been stirring， opening up to all who wish to see， and to all who dare to venture。。。


Faeries of the Faultlines was an instant Kickstarter success in 2017， and this edited， expanded edition includes the complete original documentation from the greenmen to mermaids， with expanded sections and many more faeries to meet！

Disclaimer: I received this book for free in exchange of my honest opinion。I absolutely enjoyed this book and would love to browse through it any moment of the day when I need a little something peculiar or magic in my life。 It's a gorgeous sketchbook kind of book， but filled with notes and stories too， while also being an encyclopedia of magical creatures。 Gorgeous！ Disclaimer: I received this book for free in exchange of my honest opinion。I absolutely enjoyed this book and would love to browse through it any moment of the day when I need a little something peculiar or magic in my life。 It's a gorgeous sketchbook kind of book， but filled with notes and stories too， while also being an encyclopedia of magical creatures。 Gorgeous！ 。。。more

Hauntingly beautiful illustrations of all kinds of different faeries。 The art really captures their otherworldliness and magic。The creatures are categorized in different chapters and each illustration is accompanied by a short description of the creature pictured。 I was a bit confused about which creatures were inspired by mythology and which were a result of author's imagination because there are some really unique ones illustrated。 I definitely got some new ideas for D&D monsters and creatures Hauntingly beautiful illustrations of all kinds of different faeries。 The art really captures their otherworldliness and magic。The creatures are categorized in different chapters and each illustration is accompanied by a short description of the creature pictured。 I was a bit confused about which creatures were inspired by mythology and which were a result of author's imagination because there are some really unique ones illustrated。 I definitely got some new ideas for D&D monsters and creatures to include in my campaigns。 Writing style was similar to scientific documentation or some sort of exploration journal of a magical place called Faultlines and its inhabitants。 I definitely recommend this book to everyone who likes faerie art。（I got an ARC of this book on Edelweiss+。） 。。。more

This book is similar in style to Brian Froud's and Alan Lee's "Faeries，" and the art is certainly inspired by their work。 Compiet's art isn't a copy of their work， however; it stands on its own， with a spirit and mood that is unique to her。 The book is formatted much the same as "Faeries" and many other books of this type， as if you're reading a naturalist's notebook/sketchbook， with hand-written notes， sketches， and the occasional watercolor portrait。 The faeries are grouped roughly by type， an This book is similar in style to Brian Froud's and Alan Lee's "Faeries，" and the art is certainly inspired by their work。 Compiet's art isn't a copy of their work， however; it stands on its own， with a spirit and mood that is unique to her。 The book is formatted much the same as "Faeries" and many other books of this type， as if you're reading a naturalist's notebook/sketchbook， with hand-written notes， sketches， and the occasional watercolor portrait。 The faeries are grouped roughly by type， and there are many variations in classes listed that I was not aware of- I had no idea there were so many kinds of trolls！ There is a pleasant darkness to the text， as Compiet doesn't pretend faeries and their ilk are all cute and sweet， and doesn't gloss over the less palatable side of their world。 A definite must for all who are interested in the Fae！ 。。。more

Through Faeries of the Faultlines， Iris Compiet truly brought some magic and wonder back to the world。 While I love works such as this， this one was exceptionally well-illustrated。 I was already familiar with many of the creatures discussed in this book， but I was captivated by the new renderings of old friends。 The beautiful artwork jumped off the page。 To say that Iris Compiet is talented would be an understatement。 Her prose was as impressive as her artwork， and both ranged from marvelously h Through Faeries of the Faultlines， Iris Compiet truly brought some magic and wonder back to the world。 While I love works such as this， this one was exceptionally well-illustrated。 I was already familiar with many of the creatures discussed in this book， but I was captivated by the new renderings of old friends。 The beautiful artwork jumped off the page。 To say that Iris Compiet is talented would be an understatement。 Her prose was as impressive as her artwork， and both ranged from marvelously haunting to fiercely beautiful。I appreciated how Iris Compiet explored the glory of the Faultlines without sugarcoating the dangers， respecting both。 It was wonderful that the author encouraged a close， respectful bond with nature。 The seemingly hand-written entries were a nice touch。 I only wish those entries had been more legible。 I did read this on a computer， though， so I may not have had a problem reading certain parts of this work had I read the print version。 In conclusion， if you’re looking for a fantastical book that will capture your imagination， Faeries of the Faultlines by Iris Compiet is the read for you。（Disclaimer: I received a free digital review copy of this book from the publisher through Edelweiss+。 All opinions in this review are my own and are honest and unbiased。） 。。。more

Two staple books of most 70s 'right on' households were Rien Poortvliet's Leven en Werken van de Kabouter， known as Gnomes in English， and Brian Froud and Alan Lee's Faeries。I can't tell you how many times I read Faeries， as a kid。 You'd find me hunched in some little nook of the house， listening to Enya on my Walkman。My guess is that artist Iris Compiet has a similar heartfelt connection to Froud and Lee's work （I mean， messrs Froud and Lee have written forewords for the book， so。。）， as she mor Two staple books of most 70s 'right on' households were Rien Poortvliet's Leven en Werken van de Kabouter， known as Gnomes in English， and Brian Froud and Alan Lee's Faeries。I can't tell you how many times I read Faeries， as a kid。 You'd find me hunched in some little nook of the house， listening to Enya on my Walkman。My guess is that artist Iris Compiet has a similar heartfelt connection to Froud and Lee's work （I mean， messrs Froud and Lee have written forewords for the book， so。。）， as she more or less has in this book made a sequel of sorts。 Her art hewes close to Froud and Allen's style， but also builds on it。 And the art is truly magnificent。 （And it turns out she's Dutch， which is a fun coincidence。）The book is a collection of notes and illustrations on the many fae and faeries that Compiet has encountered on her travels on the Faultline， the space where the world of the Other and our world intersect。The writing takes a while to get going， and I found it to be a bit on the repetitive side in the first half of the book。 Here's a faerie， and it releases a smell， has a look， says a thing that will make a human drowsy/itchy/dead， and so on。 She'll mention they have a complex social structure， but then never talk abiut that。 Perhaps because the creatures described in that half are closer to the worlds of Faeries - it is when Compiet creates her completely own collections that her writing starts to spark。 There are chapters on trolls， dragons and faerie-like witches。 The chapter on witches gets quite dark， which I enjoyed。 There is，for example the nykr， who lies in wait in ponds， hoping to snag a wandering child:"They can stay underwater for a very long time， rarely rising to the surface to breathe。 When they do， only their glowing white eyes are visible， as their otherwise dark features hide them from sight。 Their thin， dark， and long hair allows them to cover the water's surface， creating the illusion of solid ground。 Once a child steps on this treacherous surface， they will find themselves ensnared in the dark tangle of the nykr's hair， choke， and drown。"Ah， you see， that's the good stuff！（Picked up an ARC through Edelweiss） 。。。more
