![]() I Kissed Shara Wheeler by Casey McQuiston ().Fans of Alice Oseman’s popular Heartstopper series will definitely want to pick this one up. John Allison’s Giant Days series also strikes similar notes with its humorous portrayal of a group of British friends navigating young adulthood in a university setting. Readers who enjoyed the first-year-of-college awkwardness of Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell will also find much to love in Loveless. Loveless will appeal to a wide spectrum of teens, though readers should be aware that there are depictions of internalized ace/aro-phobia. A diverse cast of secondary characters rounds out this engaging coming-of-age story. Georgia’s journey is introspective, though Oseman manages to maintain a breezy romcom style that keeps the pages turning and provides a few laughs along the way. There aren’t a ton of YA books that center asexual and/or aromantic characters, so Loveless is a welcome addition to the LGBTQ+ field. Good thing she has some amazing friends to help her figure things out. But after a few revelations, it starts to become clear to Georgia that attraction doesn’t work the same way for her as it seems to for everyone else. For her first year at university, she is determined to find someone that she likes in that way. White, British, romcom-loving teen Georgia has always been told that she would eventually find someone she would be attracted to, but Georgia is tired of waiting. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sister Lucia often serves as the Mother's interpreter for finer points of meaning. She's able to cover her infirmity because she long ago took a vow of silence, only speaking through signing. The Reverend Mother is starting to mentally deteriorate. They do achieve some individuality in their characterization. I was worried that they wouldn't stand out, but we aren't inundated with a nunnery, only a handful of people. The sisters also have an ongoing debate about whether or not their ship has a soul. I might have got a bit lost in those details, although it goes into a bit about how the ships grow and develop. Something like a cross between The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet and A Memory Called Empire, this should appeal to those who can let go some of the demands of physics and biochemistry, and follow Rather's focus on the personal and ethical choices of the various crew members.įirst, and most oddly, it's a living ship-not an AI or brain in a shell, mind you, but a type of slug with a hardened exoskeleton.

The result is a funny, subtle, balanced, and surprisingly multifaceted look at one of the most influential religious forces in the nation, from an unlikely, likeable source.

What I thought was the most elegant separation from the previous series was completely undone here and characters from there owned this book, to the point that Ronan and Reyna had about 5 chapters out of 32 for themselves. I feel like this book was a mess in the sense that it had way too many players for such few pages and the point just got lost somewhere. In all honesty, I can’t decide if I read this at the wrong time/with not the right headspace or what. They were the only reason I kept skimming as the other characters were either forgettable or a little irritating.Īs always, a big thank you to HarperCollins and Netgalley for the ARC.Ĭourt of Death and Dreams (The Forsaken #3) by Meg Anne I really liked Ina and Skedi as characters, and their whole plot line though.
