I love this book! Kaye is awesome to me because I comepletely relate to her. Roiben is hot! I havent even seen him and he's just like...hot in my mind. Corny would be a really cool friend, because hes not all like "Oh my GOD I love your shoes" kind of gay. Janet was alright I guess. I hate Kelpies though! I didn't really know WHAT to think of Roiben after a while, but then I was cool with him.

What do you think about Valiant? I was pretty disappointed, I liked Tithe so much better

i loved corny. he was an angry punk faggot. what is more lovable than that? as for the gay manga..japanese people love gay stuff, so anyone who's into japanese comics wouldn't have been surprised when reading that particular detail. so yeah, for those who still get all uncomfortable with anything "gay" related (republican, aren't you) or "angry" related (democrat, aren't you) then corny must've been an unpleasant character. ok that's my two cents on why i like corny=)

I thought Valiant was just better in general because the characters felt more real. They acted like teenagers, and their interaction was overall better.
I really didn't like Kaye, though, especially near the middle. So maybe I'm biased...

Ha, definitely! Or maybe Tithe was better because it had a variety of situations. For example, in one book we had like three assassinations (one of which was never successful: Nephamael on Kaye's mom), a total contrast between the glamor of the fairy court and the backstreets of New Jersey, a romance, homosexuality, deaths, shopping... she invited the guy HOME, introduced him to her MOTHER, YOU GET THE POINT... whereas in Valiant there were many scenes and settings with the same feel (a drunken sense of whatever was going on) I also think that the good thing about Tithe was, the main showdown didn't occur at the end (here I mean the thing where Nicnevin dies); there was a lot that happened afterwards, so basically it was a sequel in itself. Valiant had the climax and the settling down, and that was it. (Although the thing with the message when she was on the swingset was pretty nice). So: those are my reasons, add to them, argue, agree, whatever you want...

I think Tithe was better cause we could relate more to the characters. I would rather fall in love with a fairy than a troll any day.

actually I heard that Valiant was going to be made into a movie, not sure when though, and I have to admit, I like Tithe more, maybe it's just because I read it first...?

Okay, fine, I'll admit Valiant was good, if it makes you happy. Tithe still tops it. Anyways, the movie rumor has been going on for a while, so does anyone have any solid info on it, or what?

Okay.. sorry for intruding in the whole Corny conversation, but I just wanted to say, yeah, he's a pretty sad character, and Janet's no goddess either, but you have to admit, with all the flaws in each of Kaye's companions, it just helps her shine a bit more, don't you think?
So all in all, Tithe was a really good book, if you get past the drabbiness of the situation and language, and look at it for what it is: A modern FAERIE TALE. The good character is usually the only one who's supposed to be all good and beautiful (well, comparitively), right? Name one faerie tale in which they aren't.
Now, who agrees with me on the fact that Valiant was.. um, okay, I guess... right, I'll cut the rambling...
