2024 book 68

 Effie Calvin's The Queen of Ieflaria

I wanted to read something light/cute, and this WAS very cute, but not much else. It’s about a young princess who comes to a new country to get married,but her betrothed has died and now the heir is his younger sister, who doesn’t want to rule. Also, dragons keep attacking. So am I here for a sapphic fantasy romance? Yes, and I liked the characters a lot, and thought the stuff with religion was really interesting. BUT the plot and romance are both totally underbaked. It’s frustrating because the writing is good and the bones of a solid story are there, but I really needed it to be way more fleshed out. Still, I’ll give the next book in the series a try bc this world is interesting. B/B+.
