Fans of Garth Nix's Abhorsen trilogy will love this. Huntress By Malinda Lo ISBN: 978-0316039994 Page Count: 416 (average joe but ain’t no joke) Genre: fantasy/adventure, LGBTQA+, romance, young adult Book Bites: 3 Sentence Intro About What This Story Is When the elements of the world have been thrown out of balance, its inhabitants are forced to figure out how they can continue to survive. As with Ash, Lo's characters are emotionally reserved, which makes the unfolding of romance between Kaede and Taisin all the more satisfying. Lo's storytelling and prose are masterful, and her protagonists will fascinate, particularly Taisin and her relationship to death and its accompanying rituals, her visions, and the way she can occupy another's mind. The journey to the city of Taninli, home of the Fairy Queen, is treacherous, and along the way Taisin, Kaede, and their travel companions face many dangers and tests of their abilities, not least of which are Taisin and Kaede's growing feelings for each other. A persistent winter has settled over their kingdom for two years, halting not only trade and harvests but the natural course of life itself, and threatening the survival of Taisin and Kaede's fellow citizens. Two teenage girls-Taisin, a sage who has visions, and Kaede, a brave fighter from a powerful family-must travel to see the Fairy Queen to try and save their land.
