adventurous emotional funny lighthearted medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

Thank you to the publisher for sending an ARC of this to our store! I enjoy most of Alexis Hall's books and this didn't disappoint. Narrated by Puck (yes, that Puck), this sapphic romance set in the early 1800s is full of absurdity, vengeful gods, and queer love. You may want to check content warnings though as it gets a bit dark a few times.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Animal death and Murder

Moderate: Sexual content and Transphobia

Minor: Sexual harassment

The transphobia is from characters, not the author, and the trans character is validated within the book. The animal death happens a few times and it's in the form of sacrifices to a god.
