The above is an excerpt from a book called Guardian of the Dead by Karen Heaely.
Guardian of the Dead is YA fantasy sent in Christchruch, New Zealand. It draws strongly on Maori mythology and has a diverse cast (One of my favourite characters is a 6 foot 4 Maori bloke by the name of Kevin, who just so happens to be asexual)
But what makes this book awesome is that around about page 50, ^this happens. In the above scene the protagonist, Ellie Spencer, is place in a situation where her love interest, Mark Nolan, calls a female character selfish.
And instead of sitting there, placidly pining over Mark, Ellie takes him to task over what he said, calling him out on what she perceives is bullshit.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is an amazing piece of literature, done right.
Karen Healey, you are a goddess!
