Buried Heart by Kate Elliott

BRAVO!
This third volume was even better than I expected. I found myself leaping on excuses to put it aside during the day to make it last longer.
The author took so many YA tropes — from the prince who loved a commoner to the young girl who can save the world — turned them upside down, inside out and set them down only this time intelligently, brilliantly, insightfully written.
It’s not a fairy tale. It feels far more real. Plus, feminist AF. Not to mention anti-racist and anti-colonialist. And it’s not purely a cishet world.
All that and I loved the last line too. Plus, GREAT PARENTS. Yeah. Five stars. Thank you Kate!!!
