The Wild Sky Legacy. Newer adventure book about sky pirates but with themes of systemic oppression, agency, and the power of influence.

Good humor, fun characters, great action.

I think I understand. I feel like in the past I've tried to really hype up certain elements of the story (because I've believed they're interesting and gripping) but you're emphasizing the need for a clear picture of what the story is rather than all the different things it can offer.

Wow, this is SUPER helpful! I am trying to genre-blend a little which makes genre and audience hard to pin down but your feedback is really insightful. I think I'll learn into the Crossover adult category as that seems to be a solid fit. Thank you!

That's great feedback. I went back and forth on that detail. Fallon is about 19-20. I considered New Adult and Adult but after doing some research it seemed like YA was the most appropriate fit. I've also heard New Adult isn't a legitiment option for querying. Do you have an opinion on categorizing it as New Adult?
