Tea You at the Altar by Rebecca Thorne

5.0

adventurous emotional tense medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Spoiler free thoughts: This was such a fantastic story, with twists and turns and so much at stake! I really loved this one and I think that this is a series you should explore if you like the idea of a cozy fantasy world with sapphic protagonists.

General fun things about this book: wedding planning, family drama, asexual rep, reuniting with loved ones, spies and plotting

Okay spoilers (since this is the third book):

LETS GOOOOO LESBIANS (to overthrow the queeeeeeeen) - this was such a long time coming and I'm glad we got to see the fall of Tilaine. I wasn't expecting the story to go where it went but I am so glad for it. I love our little group of queers and how they're growing larger and how Tawney feels like such a great home now. But also as someone who is starting to plan a wedding I am glad I'm not overthrowing any rules at the same time!

Also secondary note, LOVED this discussion on religion and Reyna's realisation about the gods. I love interesting religious talk especially in fantasy and this did not disappoint. It felt like the world was really thought out and wasn't just thrown together.
