Sapphic September book one and wow are we off to a great start! this book is everything a 100-ish page book should be- detailed enough, but focused; to the point without being overly concerned with its own vocab… scrumptious scrumptious

I can see how this wouldn't be the book for everyone. If you wanted to be reductive, the plot is an old woman recounting long-ago events to a cleric and their talking bird. But I kept finding myself getting lulled into the word of the story, the glittering court and the crafty Empress. I understand why this series has gotten so much attention and I'm definitely in it for the long haul.
