Every Exquisite Thing

2018Maureen Johnson

4.8/5

I LOVED THIS NOVELLA WITH ALL OF MY HEART. Compared to all the Shadowhunter novellas, I feel this one only comes second to The Fiery Trial. Not to lay the puns on too thick, but it truly was an exquisite reading experience.Anna Lightwood has one of the most unique and intriguing storylines I've ever read in young adult fiction. As a genderqueer lesbian in the late eighteen hundreds/early ninteen hundreds, I loved watching her transformation from a woman who tailors her brothers clothes to her body in secret to someone who recognizes she does not have to be just "one thing" (in her words.) Anna is strong yet vulnerable and I'm confident she will become one of my all time favorite characters.Anna and her love interest in this novella are SO ADORABLE. I was intoxicated by their chemistry and despite some obstacles revealed throughout the story, I'm extremely hopeful we see more of them together in The Last Hours.This novella was amazing and I am so, so excited for more.
