To read the Merry Gentry books is to marvel at both the beauty (both pretty beauty and grotesque beauty) and the violence of all the Courts. The Seelie and Unseelie Courts are the two main Courts though they are not separated as good (Seelie) and evil (Unseelie), humans tend to think of them that way because of appearances. The Seelie and Unseelie Courts are made up of the Sidhe (pronounced SHE) and are the “superior” or “royal” Fae in their own eyes. The rest of the Courts are made of the “other” fae and in the mind of the Sidhe, are below much of their notice. Merry is not like other Sidhe. She sees the value in all the Courts.
