I absolutely loved this book! I read the audiobook, and the narrator really made it come to life. I really enjoyed the court intrigues, the plotting, but also the relationship between the main characters. This novel had me at the summary, honestly, because you can't say queer f/f romance in fantasy setting without me being interested - but it also fully delivers on its promise.
I especially loved Xania - I was frustrated alongside her, I could relate to her ethical quandaries, and I loved especially the subplot where she went from "all romance novels suck" to "let me just read this all night", it was very relatable.
There's some tough themes of justice, torture, and recovery, that I was not fully expecting, but I really did enjoy where this book went and how it ended. I'm rarely this satisfied so I don't really have the words. Just go read it!
