E.K. Johnston's The Afterward
I think I have loved all the books I’ve read by Johnston, and this was no exception! It’s your typical epic fantasy magical quest sort of novel, except it mostly takes place after said quest (there are occasional flashbacks, mainly dealing with the romantic relationship between the two protagonists). Lots of great diversity of all kinds here, and it feels effortless, which is nice. Said protagonists are a pair of young women, an apprentice knight (almost all the knights are women!!) and a thief, and both are interesting and likable POV characters who you'll be rooting for. This was a lot of fun and just a really nice read, if you know what I mean. A/A-.
