Read for a book club, and was so happy to get sucked in to the story when reading has been hard for me this year. The side characters were the best part, along with Kingfisher's penchant for exploring the mundane everyday parts of life in her fantasy stories.

Audiobook was GREAT, Amara Jasper did a fantastic job.

This was such a fun read! Got through it in one sitting. I will definitely be reading this author’s other books. The characters were fun and the universe was so cool. The writing was great.

It gives off feminist lightly spooky princess bride-esqe vibes in the best way. 

My description of it is somewhat spoilery, but it's how I described it when recommending it to my sister. It is below. 

It is about a third born princess who finds out that prince charming has been abusing her sister. So she leaves the nunnery and teams up with a witch, a himbo, and a fairy godmother to go fucking kill him. 

I read the entire thing in less than 24 hours.
