Huntress (2011) by Malinda Lo Nature is out of balance in the human world. The sun hasn’t shone in years, and crops are failing. Worse yet, strange and hostile creatures have begun to appear. The people’s survival hangs in the balance.To solve the crisis, the oracle stones are cast, and Kaede and Taisin, two seventeen-year-old girls, are picked to go on a dangerous and unheard-of journey to Tanlili, the city of the Fairy Queen. Taisin is a sage, thrumming with magic, and Kaede is of the earth, without a speck of the otherworldly. And yet the two girls’ destinies are drawn together during the mission. As members of their party succumb to unearthly attacks and fairy tricks, the two come to rely on each other and even begin to fall in love. But the Kingdom needs only one huntress to save it, and what it takes could tear Kaede and Taisin apart forever. so here’s the deal on why this book is going to be super cool: malinda lo, long ago in a galaxy far away, used to write for afterellen, when it was still edited by sarah warn. (i feel old.) she left to publish ash, her first novel. it’s an irish-fantasy-lesbian retelling of cinderella and oh god i’m obsessed with it. she’s phenomenal at writing queer narratives for fantasy lovers. both are classified as ya, but could appeal to all ages. -shmodwa

Huntress (2011) by Malinda Lo

Nature is out of balance in the human world. The sun hasn’t shone in years, and crops are failing. Worse yet, strange and hostile creatures have begun to appear. The people’s survival hangs in the balance.

To solve the crisis, the oracle stones are cast, and Kaede and Taisin, two seventeen-year-old girls, are picked to go on a dangerous and unheard-of journey to Tanlili, the city of the Fairy Queen. Taisin is a sage, thrumming with magic, and Kaede is of the earth, without a speck of the otherworldly. And yet the two girls’ destinies are drawn together during the mission. As members of their party succumb to unearthly attacks and fairy tricks, the two come to rely on each other and even begin to fall in love. But the Kingdom needs only one huntress to save it, and what it takes could tear Kaede and Taisin apart forever.

so here’s the deal on why this book is going to be super cool:

malinda lo, long ago in a galaxy far away, used to write for afterellen, when it was still edited by sarah warn. (i feel old.) she left to publish ash, her first novel. it’s an irish-fantasy-lesbian retelling of cinderella and oh god i’m obsessed with it. she’s phenomenal at writing queer narratives for fantasy lovers. both are classified as ya, but could appeal to all ages.
