Snowflake Challenge 5

A fandom-specific resource for Weiss Kreuz was collected by onlygirlshavewings is a collection of Drama CD fan-made translations here.

An app for obtaining books and ebooks from your library is here. It works for libraries in the USA. I'm not sure about other countries.

A website that I use to find names for original characters is here.

The Lost Sisters by Holly Black

The Lost Sisters is a short story (but listed as a novella) that is part of The Folk of Air series by Holly Black. The main series follows Jude, a mortal girl raised in the fairy realm. This story is told from the perspective of Jude's twin sister, Taryn. It's basically the events of The Cruel Prince abbreviated and told from Taryn's perspective. 

I'm not sure if the story adds anything or even serves the purpose of making Taryn sympathetic. 

Caitlin Kelly does a fine job narrating the story.

The Queer Principles of Kit Webb by Cat Sebastian

The Queer Principles of Kit Webb is the first in a duology called London Highwaymen. The titular character is a former highwayman turned coffee shop owner, Kit Webb. Kit's eventual love interest is an aristocrat named Percy. 

Kit has a leg injury from a previous robbery. The representation of disabled character in a romance was not something that I was expecting but found pleasant. Kit seems to be demisexual and pansexual which is another bit of representation that I enjoyed. 

I also appreciated that the author did not have the lovers completely doubting each other every time some event happened that raised the dramatic tension. There was some doubt on each other's parts but also an undercurrent of trust that stopped them from giving up on each other completely. 

I found the accent that Joel Leslie affected for the narration to be a distraction. 

Update: My thoughts on the second book in the series are here.
