A River of Golden Bones by A.K. Mulford
4.0
This book is in my top reads for the year. Not only does it include so many of the elements I want in a romantic fantasy book, but it also includes representation that we rarely see in these books.
Calla as our FMC was frustrating to me at first. Her constant need to do things on her own, remain in her sister's shadow, and continually push away the love that was being given to her unconditionally made me want to shake her UNTIL her confession of not truly knowing who she was came out.
The more vulnerable Calla becomes, and her growth once she is with those she trusts and cares for made me want to hug her and root for her success through the end. The found family trope in this book is strong and adds so much to the overall plot.
Overall, this book was fantastic. It was fast-paced, had LGBTQ rep that wasn't simply glossed over, and kept me on my toes.
