Welcome to Litsy!

Listened to Huntress for January's #QueerBC with @PuddleJumper. While I really enjoyed the story and the worldbuilding, the romance fell a little flat for me. What I really enjoyed was the discussion of guilt vs remorse and what is/isn't acceptable for the "greater good". It's 4⭐️ from me :)

I‘m a fan of Lo‘s books and I enjoyed this fantasy tale with a f/f romance. I do like the way it ended and the added story at the end. I feel like maybe a bit too much travel time to get to the action but it still read rather well and I always love her characters. Features a sleeping Calli girl. #dogsoflitsy

Happy Monday! Today has been lovely. Woke up to a wonderful FB message from my hubby, was invited to nails and lunch with my bestie librarian, and watched Hercules when I came home while snuggling my dogs. Now I‘m indulging in Huntress, a f/f romance involving a quest and fae and I‘m enjoying it so far! ❤️ I wish every day was like today. #dogsoflitsy

June 3: Huntress is an excellent YA fantasy read. I read it several years ago and loved it. 17-year-old Kaede and Taisin are on a mission to restore balance to their world, but is there time for a little romance along the way? #yalit #lgbtqbook #lgbt #fantasy #lgbtqfantasy

This was a satisfying book. I liked the pacing of it and enjoyed the characters. #lgbt #lgbtq #yalit #lgbtliterature #lgbtfantasy #lgbtcharacter #magic #queerbook #queerfantasy

I think there is a grammatical error...it says,"she dived". Isn't that supposed to be dove????
The story is interesting although the rapid pov switches are a bit strange. I also really wanted to feel the main characters falling for each other and it was just meh. I felt like there should have been more to it. It felt hollow. And mostly random. The same with some of the plot points....I was like 'wait, did I miss something?'

The author is on insta. #lesbians #lbgtq

This is a decent adventure story, prequel to Ash. My only complaint is that the author reads her own book. She's okay but a professional reading this story would be amazing. I kind of feel like I'm at an author reading at my local bookstore. She's a cool person but were they trying to save money or something??? 🤔#lbgtq #kickassheroines #diversebooks

Pretty excited about today's #libraryhaul 😁 Where do I start??

Pretty soon I'll be having a lot more school reading to do, so I'm doing as much pleasure reading as I can now! I am so excited, nervous, scared, elated to finally be going back to school after ten years. Enjoying a moment of rest before a busy day at work today, which I am trying to gear up for but it's not really working.
Also not related to this book since I'm not very far yet, but I wish Litsy had a rating between "pick" and "so-so."

Another nap-time where I am not doing the mounds of paperwork I should be, but sneaking on some reading. Ah well!

Enjoyable but I didn't love it, although I'm not sure whether it was just the mood I'm in currently. The world is well-imagined, and the love story is sweet if underdeveloped. I felt that the pacing was a little off - the epic journey takes most of the book, leading to the big fight resolving quickly and lacking some oomph.

This is honestly between 'pick' and so-so. I loved the characters and their depth, but had some reservations about the plot. Malinda Lo's writing is gorgeous. I would still recommend it.

i am delighted to now be able to spell Xi/Sidhe in TWO fay languages! this book was a lovely read, a new adventure in a fantastical world i am reluctant to leave
