“I see now that dismissing YA books because you’re not a young adult is a little bit like refusing to watch thrillers on the grounds that you’re not a policeman or a dangerous criminal, and as a consequence, I’ve discovered a previously ignored room at the back of the bookstore that’s filled with masterpieces I’ve never heard of.”

I’m one of those who likes series on my shelves to match, and all my other Song of the Lioness books were random mismatched copies accumulated over the years growing up. And while I am keeping those too (memories, y’all!) it makes my hea...
