Date: 2018-08-08 11:39 pm (UTC)SOME SPOILERS BELOW, but they're of the tropey types that might lure some people in, so...
Byx is a fantasy race that's very furry/xeno; she's like a talking dog, except is usually bipedal, can talk, has opposable thumbs, also has a pouch and skin-flap "wings" like a flying squirrel's, and can detect lies. She's also potentially the very last of her race (the endling!) after her entire pack and family are killed for political reasons. Khara is a human girl who is in disguise crossdressing as a boy because it's easier and opens up more doors for her, and who is from a very important family and has a magic sword of legend, which is another good reason for her to be undercover as all get out. Khara saves Byx's life-slash-abducts her to take her to somewhere she believes might be safe, against Byx's will but with good intentions. When that falls through, she becomes fiercely devoted to Byx; whereas certain people will kneel to Khara if they know who she really is, she looks to Byx and dedicates herself to Byx's quest to see if they can find more of her people, and becomes her unswerving ally in the politically motivated mess that threatens the world.
Also there's lots of angst, because it's K.A. Applegate. It's great.
