Fantasy

Politics

Sapphic

Matriarchal society

With the blurb and cover art I thought this was going to be a YA sapphic romantasy. Unfortunately for me, it wasn’t. It was an adult book with a very bland romance…  

The FMC and the connection with death was really intriguing. I enjoyed her ability to talk to creatures and things around her. I wanted to see so much more of that… instead we are swung into court life, politics and a hint of a sapphic crush that doesn’t pan out.

I definitely needed more magic/world building and the pacing was very slow. 

Maybe this book just wasn’t for me.

Thank you NetGalley and Avon And Harper Voyager for an eARC of this book. All opinions are my own.
