If you’ve ever read a book by KJ you know you can expect certain things: quirky characters, beautiful flowing rambles, and a whole lot of heart.
What might shock you to know is that this latest release also includes: magic, horses, babes in leather, and sword wielding, along with many other incredible things. Outcast is sapphic portal urban fantasy as its finest.
I laughed many times throughout reading Outcast. From Sev’s internal thoughts, the way she confuses just about everyone she comes in contact with - at least after she steps through the back door of an unsuspecting laundromat - with her colloquialism.
My heart squeezed a little (don’t worry, no sobbing uncontrollably in this fun adventure) while simultaneously laughing.
KJ has mastered the perfect all knowing maternal characters that I simply adore.
Just a few of the many quotes I have highlighted throughout this adventure:
- They won’t take me seriously because I’m a flaky artist who sells at a flaky market and has a flaky story. God, I’m basically puff-pastry.
- With her inflamed words, Sev had taken hold of Ori’s breath, her gaze, her consciousness.
- the horizon where the sun would soon be falling over its edge.
- It was all a bit Lord of the Rings. Next she’d see elves wandering about the corridors and Cate Blanchett calling forth the service of her people. That last bit would be perfectly fine.
- “Well, I think I will leave you two to chat. It has been wonderful to spectate this conversation, however there are many tasks I must suddenly create so I am able to depart somewhat authentically.” Jino threw a look of innocence at both of them. (BWA HAHAHA)
