I also didn't put up a WUW post, because I'd just gotten back from vacation and was too tired and busy to do so. <br /><br />I wonder if fantasy is becoming more popular in YA. Lately I've seen so much paranormal and dystopian on the shelves that it actually annoys me -- I mean, I like both those genres, but I've been starving for a good YA fantasy novel. Not urban fantasy, not paranormal, but good old-fashioned high fantasy. I think that the high word count inevitably involved with high fantasy means that there just isn't a lot of it in YA, b/c YA books tend to be shorter for a few reasons (like how people believe teens don't or won't read longer books).<br /><br />However, I just picked up THRONE OF GLASS, a YA fantasy novel about an assassin which I've heard good things about. :) And since a current wip of mine is a fantasy story involving assassins, I thought it would be a good read for right now.<br /><br />Good luck on the scholarship and the story! Wow! Congrats!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15725049899131699912noreply@blogger.com
