When I found out that Lo had also written a fantasy novel? I was hugely excited, especially when I realized that Ash is about fairies and that it has been endorsed by Leigh Bardugo, Holly Black, Rainbow Rowell, Nina Lacour, Kristin Cashore, and more.īilled as a lesbian retelling of Cinderella with some dark, Irish-inspired fairies sprinkled in for good measure, Ash follows a young woman in the wake of her parents’ deaths. I don’t read much historical fiction, so the fact that I loved Last Night at the Telegraph Club as much as I did is remarkable. It is absolutely fantastic: excellent writing, a compelling balance between optimism and darker realism, likable characters, and a refreshingly diverse story from an era that is often depicted as overwhelmingly straight and white. Recently, I read Malinda Lo’s National Book Award winning, Stonewall Award winning, Asian/Pacific American Award-winning, and Printz award honoree Last Night at the Telegraph Club.
