A beautiful book filled with all kinds of history, just the right amount of magic, and such a lovely f/f romance. Also, the food in this book! Yum.

"Sahiq. It's a...term from my time. Used to refer to women who find men unappealing." [...]
"Do you think I carry it, too?" [...]
"I don't know"
Oh gods that was so good and so gay. I loved the story, the inspirations, representations and everything this book states since world one to very last. It's charming and different, very beautiful and a bit naïve, although it's all coming together into amazing story about learning that what you feel is valid, that you deserve happiness and peace, and the most importantly:
that you matter.
And also that men suck and change history to their own perspective. Damn them /hj

This was an interesting story. Yza is cursed, or so she thinks, but what if that curse is really a gift? What could a future Queen do with a gift?
