Welcome to Litsy!

Styled after Shakespeare‘s Henry IV. The battle for the throne is a bloody one and anything that gets in the way is sacrificed. Blood, sweat, tears...and romance. Good premise...but sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn‘t. The friendships didn‘t always feel real and the romance often felt more like lust and convenience. Unrealized potential, but interesting.

I‘m really loving this narrator! I had given up on YA bc I read a lot of duds, but I‘ve recently picked up some quality reads! #audiobook #youngadult #lgbqt

Cherry and Hero love each other, but Cherry‘s father forces her to marry. So of course her husband makes a bet with his friend about her virtue and when he loses the bet Cherry and Hero are accused of witchcraft. All of this set in a world created by a bird girl whose father decides he wants to run her creation because it‘s too lenient and no one fears him. Not a bad story, but not great either.

Layered look at character development and gender fluidity amid the lesbian scene in Portland during the late 1990‘s, and what it‘s like to grow and develop among the expectations of friends and family who have you placed in a very specific box. The reactions of Andrea‘s friends and family after finding out about her pregnancy are well done, as is her own growth as a mom and independent woman.
