So Shelly by Ty Roth5/31/2023 ![]() ![]() Almost this entire novel consisted of Taisin, Kaede and crew's journey to the Fairy Queen. It was refreshing to have a solid love story between two girls without the taunting voices of their peers. No one looked down on their relationship. She didn't include shame or uncertainty about what they felt. Malinda Lo knows how to write good LGBT lit. I enjoyed watching their relationship grow and bloom. Unlike, Taisin who is a sage, Kaede is not magical-though she is quite gifted with a dagger. She did extraordinary things, but you could feel yourself as being similar to her. Kaede was such a like-able and plain character. Regardless of the fact that I did not like the style of narration this story had plenty of redeeming qualities that made me glad to continue reading. ![]() I prefer first person narration or at least third-person limited. So for those of you who follow me on Twitter or Goodreads, you may know that I struggled with this book, due to the fact that it is written with third-person omniscient narration. ![]()
