The novel balances four different POV characters: Aiden, the charming heartbreaker Harvard, the over-responsible captain Seiji, the socially-confused future Olympian and Nicholas, the untrained and overeager newbie.
The coach assigns the four boys a series of team-building exercises and the team carries them out to… middling success. It’s about a fencing team struggling with teamwork. Pacat and therefore didn’t know what kinds of characters and storylines she had to work with. I know that Brennan has written for other people’s characters before-she writes short stories for Cassandra Clare’s Shadowhunters-but I’m not at all familiar with C.S. The writing in In Other Lands is great, but the creative story and hilariously adorable characters are the stars. It’s based on a graphic novel series (also called Fence) by C.S. I was slightly hesitant going into it because it is not entirely original. That book happened to be Fence: Striking Distance.
I loved it so much that I promptly bought the next book by Rees Brennan that I saw. A few months ago, I read Sarah Rees Brennan’s novel In Other Landsand absolutely adored it.
