A woman befriends the woman who will be taken by the wizard, only he takes her instead. She's mad at him for taking her and also mad at him for not taking the other girl.

I like how they handled the

conflict resolution

at the end. It was a very realistic approach to what happens in my opinion

after war if you want their to be peace and not just a pause in the physical conflict

I adored this! It's written absolutely beautifully with gorgeous imagery, and the ending is maybe my favourite I've read this year. I'd read more by Naomi Novik in a heartbeat
