I’m intrigued. This is definitely not sapphic leaning (more yearning but only in the last bit), but more fantasy-esque with different species and understanding our MCs. On a little fantasy roll and this was a nice addition

Crier's War is an epic fantasy love story that follows two girls from the different races established in the book: one "made", a technologically created robot of sorts, and one human. Their romance develops in parallel with the mounting political instability of their region, as tensions between Automae and Humans are exacerbated from within their institutions.
This story combines common tropes of both romance and science fiction, blending them to create an enjoyable work of literature. The world is fleshed out well, with lots of in-universe lore and history that is slowly drip-fed to the reader. The interactions between the two protagonists are sweet and relatable, and while complicated, they both have their complex reasons and motivations.
The progression of the romance is rushed, however. It's a "love at first sight" sort of interaction that never allows the reader to see the animosity that we are told is between the two. Both are so immediately enamored that they never substantially hurt each other, leading to the relationship lacking dimension.
An interesting introduction to the duology, it does a great job setting up the conflict for the second book, where I'm excited to see more development of the lore and world-building of this unique futuristic universe.

For the titular character, things sure do just happen to and at Crier.
