I received a copy through NetGalley and this is my honest and voluntary review.

A fun high fantasy book focused mostly on queer women, trans included. Two of the main characters are from Earth who ended up in this fantasy world, while some of them are locals, and there's also variety in ages and situations which made them really interesting. Seeing how differently they handle situations was great, and also how they can be complex, like Viya is clearly kinda racist because she's young and she grew up in that environment, but hopefully she'll work on it.

There's normalized polyamory and female sexuality - explicitly it is said that there's no equivalent word to "vixen" in the local language because female sexuality isn't scandalous like it is on Earth. There's also a lot of politics and religious worldbuilding between two nations. I especially liked how the names were handled, and how it differed between Kena and Veksh.

I was a bit disappointed by the ending, it felt like a story being cut short when it was really just beginning. But I'm curious to see what Saffron will do next.
