Welcome to Litsy!

Two siblings are forced into hiding when a relative stages a coup to usurp their noble house. They take on new identities within a magical order of women and plan their next move. I absolutely loved this book. The characters have a lot of room to explore themselves and grow, and the art is stunning. I read this back in March for #TransRightsReadathon.

The use of colour in this book was delightful. It was very well thought out and worked really well as a stand alone book.

Thoroughly enjoyed it.

The communion of blue is a sanctuary… there have always been girls who found their way to us… and their always will be.”

After a coup leaves a usurper in control the Royal twins hide out among Communion of Blue where one youth finds their calling as a magical weaver, and both plot to expose the truth.

The fast paced middle-grade adventure is LGBTQ affirming and satisfying, a fun read with room for a series.

Enjoy!

I loved the message to this but it felt like there was a disconnect between a lot of the panels and what the panels were supposed to be showing me. I felt a bit lost in a few places. The illustrations were beautiful but they didn't totally line up quite right.

Finished one book today and hoping to squeeze in this too

A fun #MiddleGrade #Fantasy #GraphicNovel about two siblings caught up in a political coup. Both are assigned male, escape and hide themselves as new initiates in The Communion of Blue, a women-only communal society with sacred duties. When they are given the opportunity to avenge wrongs done to them, one is eager to get back to his old life and the other wants to stay in the life she knows is for her. Nice trans storyline, good but not great art.

Second breakfast and next up! #QueerBooks #LGBTQBooks #LGBTQ #MiddleGrade #Comics #GraphicNovel

Another middle grades book! I saw this Graphic Novel on a co-workers desk, borrowed it and really enjoyed it! I loved the illustrations and colors. It‘s high adventure and fun with gender identity tied in. I wish the world building was more detailed, but that‘s me.
