One day, traveling back from a debate tournament, everything goes crazy and awful: flocks of birds cause several plane crashes. Okay, birds are creepy. Then there's a national state of emergency which leaves Reece, her teammate and their debate coach stranded farm from home with phones out/down/what...
It's been a while since I read Adaptation and the first 100 or so pages of Inheritance (I'm going back to it soon), but isn't Amber blond in those books? I didn't understand the fuss over her hair color in the story. I also don't love the language Lo has created. Why is it so vowel heavy? For some...
A copy of this book was provided to me by the publisher in exchange for my honest review. I don't normally read anthologies at all. I actually shy away from them. After reading Grim, I plan on changing that. This is a perfect example of what can happen when you combine excellent young adult authors ...
I was very excited to read this book. Not just because it was a dystopian (I love dystopian settings) but because the main protagonist is bisexual – yay for diversity! I have read many LGBT books but very little seem to cover the ‘B’ (even less so the ‘T’) aspect so I was really happy to discover th...
I fell in love with Amber when I first met her in Adaptation, and I was really disappointed when she barely appeared in Inheritance. Natural Selection isn't as bad as Inheritance (3/5), but it wasn't as good as Adaptation either (5/5). It was literally inbetween. I only dropped a star because there ...
Adaptation was the first of Malinda Lo's books that I've picked up to read, even though I own a copy of Ash. It blew me away! Lots of action, lots of sci-fi, but not over-complicated, you could easily wrap your head around what was going on. And! A bisexual main character, something I don't think I'...
Weighing in at 400 pages. I was expecting Adaptation to feel pretty slow. However, I started it before I went to bed and before I knew it I'd already read 30%. I finished the rest when I woke up. Adaptation is... amazing. I have all the praise for a bisexual main character, finally! I feel represent...
Malinda Lo's lovely lesbian YA Ash is a romantic and lyrical retelling of Cinderella with two female protagonists. Yet the structure of the world is very focused on straight marriage as a means of property transfer and means of producing heirs.
i really like this book. Its a prequel to Ash ( wich is a retelling of cinderella) and really its just set in the same world a few centuries eariler. I thought that this time around Malinda lo did a better job of world building and connecting me to the chracters. This is your basic heroes journey wi...
