Princeless

I picked this up at Denver Comic Con this year and had a chance to talk to Jeremy Whitley about the age level at which you could give a kid Raven. Raven is a kissing book and a fighting book, and so really it should e at any age when kids start to appreciate kissing/fighting books. What it really boiled down to though, was whether or not said kid's parents are ok with queer characters, and it's sad that that is what it boils down to, which I guess means that we should give more kids these books. This series is not about being queer; it's about swash-buckling pirate adventures with love triangles built in as they are built into 90% of YA (btw, is it wrong that the more it looks like Raven/Ximena is a thing, the more I want RavenShine to be a thing? Am I just contrary? Probably). This characters just happen to be queer, and I think a lot more kids are smart enough to realize that is not a big deal than their parents.
