Just trying to deal with these art style changes. It feels more pronounced than before.

I came close to bailing on this early on, since it reads a lot younger than I expected and leans into my least favourite US high school stereotype (see below). As it rolled along, though, it won me over with its SHEER ADORABILITY. Yeah, the characters feel young, but that‘s because they act like actual 14- to 17-year-olds, with all the figuring-stuff-out moments that demographic goes through. I giggled and groaned and revelled in their adventures.

xicanti The stereotype, now: fiction seems to indicate all American high schoolers are TOTALLY OBSESSED with who‘s in which grade, which they of course refer to by nicknames. This grates on me every damned time, but it‘s especially jarring in an Irish writer‘s novel based on a comic by an Australian and a Mexican. It‘s really the only glaring US HS stereotype in the thing, though, and it mostly happens from Aiden‘s POV, so I dealt. (edited) 2y

I mean, yeah, I liked it because I‘ve enjoyed Fence since the first issue of Pacat‘s comic. Brennan‘s second, and last, book based on the comic sees the Kings Row fencing team at a training camp in France. Yes there‘s fencing but the focus is really on the friendships, romances, & rivalries within the team & with others. Snarky, funny, frustrating, bemusing—it‘s all the things you‘d expect from a teen sports drama. A fun read.

Fence Vol. 3 | C S Pacat

Well, I had to cancel my usual midnight sausages because it‘s a pain day and things got pretty bad this evening and I had to take to my bed for a while. Standing at the stove didn‘t seem like a great option after that.

I finished MY SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN, though, and I tore through vol 3 of FENCE! This was my favourite one yet. It took me to 10:36. #deweyoct #readathon
