Some memorable moments from “In Other Lands”
When Elliot informs the unicorn attempting to kill him that it should really stop caring about the social construct of virginity
The way Luke just. Comes out. In the middle of history class. Legendary.
How Elliot consistently shuts down biphobia
When Serene takes her shirt off at the lake because the boys are doing it and gets pissed off when they complain
When Elliot tries taking elven porn out of the library
Every time Elliot calls Luke loser, and how as the book goes on it gets more and more affectionate
How all the elves think Elliot’s a sex fiend and he goes along with it
Elliot hiding sharpies in strategic places in Luke’s cabin so he doesn’t get caught with contraband
How every single Sunborn separately threatens to blackmail Elliot if he doesn’t tell them who Luke likes
Elliot straight up poisons a bunch of dudes and nobody really does anything about it
Elliot running across the battlefield because he needs to get somewhere and getting genuinely surprised when people try to kill him
Elliot getting so pissed at his Dad and wanting to make a lasting mark, so he spray paints his name over his entire fucking house
I could keep going but then I’d never stop, so. Please just read In other Lands by Sarah Rees Brennan, it’s one of my favorite books of all time, it is such a special book and should be more famous. I loved it so much I wrote a book review last summer. For who? Nobody. I just wanted to talk about it.
