Review below cut

This was such a gorgeous, unique book. It felt so magical to read, like the colours from the story were all around me.

I love Bastián and Lore so, so much. I love their transness and how that means different things for each of them. I love their unique brains and the ways they learn to work with them. I love the ways they opened up to each other, slowly in fits and starts, never easy. I love how they understood each other.

There wasn’t really much of a plot outside of these two characters working things out both together and individually, but the journey was beautifully written with some really gorgeous imagery, and I kind of like that the mysteries of the lake stay a mystery.

Funky Queer Sci-Fi and Fantasy to Read this Pride Month

It goes without saying that one should read queer books all year, but Pride represents a perfect opportunity to wave the flag for fiction with LGBTQIA+ protagonists and themes. So, amidst the flurry of recommendation posts, I present my own pile: specifically of genre fiction!

From urban fantasies about lesbians dealing with vengeful gods to far-future solarpunk road trips starring non-binary monks and everything in between, here are some novels I hold as exemplary examples of imaginative, speculative queer storytelling from the past few years.

Lakelore || Anna-Marie McLemore || 304 pages Top 3 Genres: Fantasy / Young Adult / LGBTQIA+

Synopsis: Everyone who lives near the lake knows the stories about the world underneath it, an ethereal landscape rumored to be half-air, half-water. But Bastián Silvano and Lore Garcia are the only ones who’ve been there. Bastián grew up both above the lake and in the otherworldly space beneath it. Lore’s only seen the world under the lake once, but that one encounter changed their life and their fate.

Then the lines between air and water begin to blur. The world under the lake drifts above the surface. If Bastián and Lore don’t want it bringing their secrets to the surface with it, they have to stop it, and to do that, they have to work together. There’s just one problem: Bastián and Lore haven’t spoken in seven years, and working together means trusting each other with the very things they’re trying to hide.
