Review of Mortal Follies- (please note this was given to me as an ARC but this is not a paid review)
Tags: Sapphic romance, historical fiction, fantasy,
Trigger warnings, mention of animal sacrifices, illness, family death, abduction,
I absolutely adored this book; it almost has grumpy/sunshine trope feels thanks to the close-knit group of friends alongside the main characters. It has fantasy, romance, whimsy, wonderful cast of diverse characters, and great queer representation. This is read via the perspective of a 3rd party fairy narrator and not the main characters which added an extra layer of fun and comedy to this beautifully told tale with the air of not so likely hero's facing off against the gods (or in this case goddess) if you love historical fiction this is absolutely a book to add to your TBR.
