2023 book 134

 Ellen Kushner's The Privilege of the Sword

I do love this book, which is set like 20 years after this first one, and centers on the Mad Duke of Tremontaine's niece as he takes her in and trains her to be a swordsman (swordswoman?). I love her character arc, I love the portrayals of teen girls as silly but passionate and loyal, and I LOVE the end. Just wickedly satisfying.
