Things this book has:
  • sapphic bodyguard trope
  • twin sisters
  • betrayal
  • court intrigue
  • russian folklore
  • a snarky soft boy scholar

These Feathered Flames is a delicious mix of Russian folklore, court intrigue, slowburn romance, betrayal, and sisterhood. I was surprised (in a good way) & I can’t wait to get my hands on book two!
