Representaion In Favor Of Books Damsel
The rite has existed for as long as anyone can remember: when the prince-who-will-be-king comes of age, he must venture out into the gray lands, slay a fierce dragon, and rescue a damsel to be his bride. This is the way things have always been.When Ama wakes in the arms of Prince Emory, however, she knows none of this. She has no memory of what came before she was captured by the dragon, or what horrors she has faced in its lair. She knows only this handsome prince, the story he tells of her rescue, and her destiny to sit on the throne beside him. Ama comes with Emory back to the kingdom of Harding, hailed as the new princess, welcomed to the court.
However, as soon as her first night falls, she begins to realize that not all is as it seems, that there is more to the legends of the dragons and the damsels than anyone knows–and that the greatest threats to her life may not be behind her, but here, in front of her.

5 starsTW: rape, self-harm, abuse, animal abuse, graphic violence, bestialityThis is not a book for everyone, but it was the book for me.I can feel all the people cringing away from this book, and know that you don't have to read it, and no one will fault you for not reading it. I can feel all the DNFs coming this way, as it's a very graphic book marketed towards the YA audience, and DNFing is a completely valid thing to do.As you can see by the long list of trigger warnings, this can be very***BEWARE OF SPOILERS!*** Rating: we start at 5 stars:- Bestiality: -1 star- 'Yard'? Can't body parts be named properly if we already are considering bestiality? There is a whole chapter in there aptly named 'The King's Yard', in which they valiantly try to discuss the aforementioned 'yard'. And I'm not kidding. -1 star+ Some ideas that I loved (see above): +1 star- Some ideas I hated (see above): -1 star+- Feminism: eh... while it's totally cool, we should consider that (view spoiler)[there are
Even almost two months later I don't really know how to describe this book... But I really admire Elana K. Arnold and I really think that books like hers are very important and can even change your perspectives somehow. I really wish I had read her books back when I was a teenager.
Printz Honor 2019Called it! Called it!Original review4.5 starsOh boy, this novel is going to get so many 1-star reviews! This is what happens when a book like this is marketed as YA. Are there going to be any teens that would read and like it? I doubt it. This is a novel created for lovers of literary fantasy and ugly ancient fairy tales. It is written in a simple language, it does not have a lot of characters or drama. It is quiet and dreamlike. It might get a Printz nod (I hope) from
Wow. Okay. So. Holy shit. Yes. This book. Yes.
**Skip this. Read Amy Harmons The Bird and the Sword instead 2018I dont know how the heck I even got here. And I dont know how the heck some books make it through publishing. Books like this. And why books like this are being marketed as YA when they are clearly not. I think the main idea here was interesting. And I guessed it right away. The origin of the damsel. And if this were a true YA book it could have been something great. But it was just so flat. I was bored from page one. The opening
I'm all about equality for everyone, but I felt like this book definitely put men to shame, and that's a real effing shame.Also, Emory was a weird guy, like sometimes he felt cocky but okay, but then he would have these strange times where he'd do weird things like drag Ama around by a leash. Another thing was, I hated Ama too, so it was hard for me to feel sorry for her, or anyone really. I think I felt sorry for Tillie the mostshe needed to get the hell out of that castle! Pawlin was also
