A Treachery of Swans by A.B. Poranek

4.0

---

If there’s one thing I love, it’s a Swan Lake retelling. If there’s one way to make THAT even better, it’s making it sapphic. A Treachery of Swans absolutely nailed it. This darkly atmospheric story was filled with banter, deceit, clever plotting, and a much larger mystery than you would believe. I read this entire book in one sitting. The slow burn romance and the complex relationships between the characters was extremely compelling. I absolutely loved how polar opposite the FMC was to the princess she was impersonating and subsequently falling for. It’s one of my favorite things to watch unfold: utterly contrasting characters who fall for each other against all odds. 

I sincerely hope there will be more books. 

WHAT TO EXPECT:
• sapphic YA swan lake retelling
• magical blood
• heist
• magically impersonate a princess
• unraveling lies
• darkly atmospheric
