Sierra has just started summer break from school and she’s working on a mural in her neighborhood. I could have listened to everyone in this story talking to each other for about 500 more pages. But it’s also got a huge portion of my catnip because it includes so many different cultures so fluently, and because so many characters in the story were individuals, with unique voices, and there was plenty of dialogue for them. It’s a bit outside my reading tastes because it’s urban fantasy and it’s for teen readers, a vein of YA I haven’t read much of. Shadowshaper is a freaking incredible novel. NB: It’s Flashback Friday! Given Sarah’s recent love of Labyrinth Lost, it seemed fitting to resurrect another YA, urban fantasy with a diverse heroine that she happened to enjoy. This review was originally published July 15, 2015. Genre: Science Fiction/Fantasy, Young Adult
