Eh, not really good enough for me. I love the book, don't get me wrong, but I thought it was odd of Malinda Lo to say that about Ash and Kaisa. It's just of no consequence at all, since it's not mentioned in the book and it never becomes something the characters have to deal with. It reminds me of JK Rowling saying Dumbledore was gay... outside of the books, after Harry Potter had finished, when it didn't matter at all. “But she looks Asian and that’s good enough for me.”

It is such a beautiful book and I can't wait to read more of it. I really love everything about Kaisa (not because she's female, but because she's Kaisa). I think I might be falling in love with her, too. ;) I’m reading this book right now and found your review through Malinda Lo’s Twitter.

I've read plenty of literatures with male homosexual themes. I have yet to read anything with a lesbian element (other than fanfiction) and I may actually check this out. I do admit, the homosexual element attracts me, but I'm more attracted to the story. Thanks for this indepth review! Interesting review, JJ.
