This book was thoroughly researched (which I LOVE in historical fantasy). All characters were well-developed with strengths and flaws, and they felt so real. I loved the intense Sapphic romance, alongside the dynamic of a relationship struggling due to social pressure, duty, lack of communication, and closeted sexuality. I also loved watching the tenderness and vulnerability with which they eventually figured it all out. The tension of the political intrigue, especially as a woman, weaving in the feminine rage at the way women are belittled and gaslit, was masterfully done. Loved this book
