Queen of Summer's Twilight by Charles Vess.

I'm more familiar with his work as an artist, especially with Charles De Lint:

Queen of Summer's Twilight is his first crack as an author:

Interesting, artist turned author?! How is his writing?

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Pretty flowery, like his artwork. :)

Story is similar to other works he's illustrated for people like Neil Gaiman.

Young woman, growing up in England, isolated by her strict father, looking for information about her mysterious, missing mother.

Looks like she may actually be playing host for the spirit of the Faerie Queen.
