I loved this book! It was a funny, action-packed sapphic high fantasy. The relationships never felt forced and neither did the character growth. I enjoyed how Ilde wasn't the stereotypical paladin-type. She had to grow into her role yet still swore just as often. Also loved Madris the autistic-coded elf. She and Ilde are perfect for each other and I've already bought the short story that'll focus on them: Divinity and Desperation. Joyanna, I think, was my favourite character though--she was hilarious and such a strong woman to look up to.
