zing_och: pages of a book shaping a heart (lesen)
Nina Blazon - Faunblut.

I'm reading a lot of library books atm, and this one I just grabbed from the shelf when I was leaving. I'm glad I did! (If I had looked closer, I probably would have put it back, since it's a love story, and it's promoted as "trendy fantasy" and "for readers of Stephanie Meyer". )

This is a YA fantasy novel, I guess. (I get confused with these labels; the book has sex (non-graphic) and violence (pretty graphic) in it.) For plot details see the amazon page - I just dove into the book myself and didn't even check the blurb, and I'm glad about that, though the spoilers at amazon aren't too bad.

The worldbuilding is really good, and Blazon sort of sneaks it in - no endless exposition. I liked the style a lot, and it's a fast-paced, gripping story.

And finally: there are a lot of women in this book, more than men, even, and they're actual people. Awesome!

It's only available in German, I think, and hardcover, but it's worth giving a shot if you have the money or can get it from a library.
