The fantasy world and the characters could have been more developed, and it would have helped a lot with a better background (why was magic forbidden and why was there an alliance between two of the kingdoms that needed to be sealed by a marriage?).īut overall it was a sweet and enjoyable read, with a fresh and different plot for a YA fantasy.Īll 1 Star 2 Stars 3 Stars 4 Stars 5 Stars Abbi Glines Abdi Nazemian Adam Silvera Adib Khorram Aiden Thomas Aisha Saeed Aislinn Brophy AJ Collins Alexandra Christo Alex Beltran Alexene Farol Follmuth Alexis Hall Alex Kelly Alex Sanchez Alice Dolman Alice Oseman Ali Hazelwood Alison Cochrun Al Riske Alwyn Hamilton Amanda Ferreira A. But there were a few things that disappointed me, unfortunately. I am really happy about this kind of diversity in YA Fantasy books and wish for there to be more of it in the future.
It was not about Denna falling in love twice, or a love triangle, but about being torn between the duties enforced upon you and the wish to make your own decisions and be with your one true love. It was also good that Denna and Thandi (the Prince she was betrothed to) never had any romantic feelings for each other.
The obstacles against it were more the circumstances, that Denna was already engaged to the Prince, not because it was two women falling in love. There were women in positions of leadership and in the army, and it also seemed like there wasn’t any taboo in the relationship itself. I loved that the society described in the book was so open to women in general. This debut by Audrey Coulthurst was one of the first lesbian romances I’ve read in a YA fantasy.
