A review by althea
Glorious Day by Skye Kilaen

4.0

I really enjoyed this novella and I think fans of Once & Future and Girls of Paper and Fire would really love it too! I've been dying to read an f/f princess and bodyguard book for the longest time, so when I saw this I requested it on Netgalley straight away! Although this book is very short, it is very complex - there is so much political intrigue crammed into so few pages. I did really enjoy the plot and worldbuilding in the novella but regarding the romance I feel that it could have benefited from being a full length novel, as I felt the characters slightly underdeveloped at times (and I'd just love more of the world!). Overall, I really enjoyed reading this and would highly recommend!

Rep: lesbian mc, bisexual li, nb side character, black side characters

Trigger warnings: violence, graphic reference to torture including amputation (off-page), the murder of a side character/family member, ableism (from antagonist), descriptions of state violence, and reference to a possible forced marriage

Thanks to Netgalley for an e-Arc in return for a review!
