Moontangled by Stephanie Burgis

[forestofglory]

So I absolutely adored the first three novellas in the The Harwood Spellbook. Those focused on Cassandra Harwood, a woman magic user in a world where women hold political power but men do magic. The fierce prickly Cassandra is an amazing character, and loved following her journey.

Moontangled is the latest installment of that series and it focuses on one of Cassandra’s protegees and her secret finance. It's a lovely f/f romance featuring pinning, misunderstandings and magic.The way Burgis writes fae hits just the right note of uncanniness mixed with very human feelings. There are also some lovely moments of female friendship and women supporting each other.

This book stands alone if you’d like to start here, but the other novellas are also great and I highly recommend the whole series.

I've only read 2/3 (or 2/4 now!) but I agree, utterly charming series and brilliant worldbuilding + romance.

yay! (but note that the other books in the series focus on f/m relationships)

Ahahaha that's okay as long as I know there's a canon sapphic ship for character(s) later I get to read female chemistry differently, & quite happily. ^+^
