2022 book 207

 Beth Brower's The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion, vol. 1

Yes yes, I have a ton of 2022 books on my kindle I keep meaning to read, and there’s only a month left in the year, but I wasn’t in the mood for any of those and the narrative voice here gripped me right away! I was under the impression this was a historical fantasy series, and while there are a few hints of the unusual, this is a fairly non-magical Regency-era diary of a young woman trying to claim her inheritance—and deal with various relatives and the upcoming Season. But like I said, I was very into the writing style here and will be immediately starting volume 2. A/A-.
