A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske
5.0
adventurous hopeful lighthearted medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

so incredibly well-written! light-hearted but not inconsequential, delicately funny without being a farce, and genuinely delightful to read. any book that discusses liminality contends for a central place in my heart, but this one takes the cake. also, historical queers combined with a really intricate and thoughtful magical system–i may never, ever shut up about this book. i'm in love with miss adelaide morrissey. now on to book two, immediately!
