The Rakess by Scarlett Peckham
5.0
ARC won in Goodreads giveaway.
As expected, this was spectacular. I loved Seraphina so much, and not only because she's the antithesis of women of her era. Some of the lines describing her hit so close to my heart, and I can't help but connect with a droll, witty, intelligent heroine who, in the beginning, sees men as good for one thing. Adam is a worthy hero, but Sera is the heart of the book, and her backstory is the deeper of the two. I also really enjoyed a little hint of a failed romance of Marianne's, Adam's sister; I hope we see more of her and her story at some point as well.
