Empress & Aniya by Candice Carty-Williams

4.0

What a charming little book!! This completely reminded me of a lot of the books that I read when I was younger and I can always fall head over heels for Candice Carty-Williams’ writing style.

Lovely characterisation with a true emphasis on feminine friendship- something that I don’t think gets quite enough credit. It was refreshing to read a YA teen-centres book that lacked the presence of romantic interest. All in all a wholesome little read.

My only slight issue was that the pacing was a little off and I wish that the *spoiler alert* body swap excitement had been introduced a little earlier.
