![]() From birth, she’s been raised as an ‘extra’ a body double for her sister, a safety measure and a bodyguard. ![]() The thing is – nobody knows that Frey exists. ![]() The exploits of Tally Youngblood are the stuff of legend, the environmental quandaries that plagued the world’s politics are back in full swing, and Frey and Rafia are the twin daughters of a city’s tyrant. The book in question is IMPOSTORS, the first in a new trilogy from YA community pillar Scott Westerfeld, set in the same word as UGLIES a good twenty or so years later. So, of course, you can imagine that when I found out that the Uglies universe was in fact still active, I grabbed the book as soon as possible. Without the same simplicity of concept that plagues Divergent and other dystopian YA, the Uglies trilogy spoke directly to (what I now recognize as) my dysphoria as a trans teen and the feeling of never quite fitting in – of simply speaking a different language than everybody else, and maybe, eventually, I’d catch up. ![]() I read the Uglies trilogy in full when I was in either middle school or early high school, and to this day they’re some of my favourite dystopian novels. ![]()
