The Daughters of Izdihar by Hadeer Elsbai

adventurous emotional hopeful sad medium-paced
  • Strong character development? Yes

4.0

Pretty solid. Set in a fantasy Egypt (?), Elsbai details the lives of several women struggling for legal equality in a deeply misogynistic society. Each has their own reasons and their own methods, and watching them claim their power was beautiful. The magic isn't terribly innovative, but does it have to be? The point was revolution and growth!

LGBTQIA positive but with homophobia as well
