Except Sophia refuses to do this. She runs from the ball and becomes an outcast, and eventually works to overthrow the king.
This book is an adventure, a sapphic slow burn, beautifully written with tough topics addressed. Sophia is sassy, knows what she wants, and is exactly who this place needs at this time. She remains a character I love and revisiting the book feels like greeting an old friend for whom you can't stop rooting.
Moderate: Child death, Domestic abuse, Grief, Physical abuse, Lesbophobia, Homophobia, and Emotional abuse
Minor: Adult/minor relationship

It tries to be everything at once and fails to do so. On one hand there’s simply too much and a lot of stuff is mentioned as important only to never be mentioned again, while on the other hand there’s actually very little that happens and all the characters seem to say every single thought out loud without any filters. Everything else is explained in every single detail and I found I was able to predict the story from the get go and had to wait over 200 pages before mc did…
I really don’t know why I finished it. I think I hoped that it would become more but it never did.
Moderate: Animal death and Domestic abuse
Minor: Death, Child abuse, Child death, and Emotional abuse
