The Brilliant Death by A.R. Capetta

4.0

[4.5 ☆]
GAH i loved this so much, the characters and the world are so great, i couldn't get enough of them. i relate to teo so much and i adore cielo as well. the romance felt slightly underdeveloped at certain points, but was incredibly enjoyable regardless. i felt like the book used some awkward similes and metaphors at the beginning, but that got less and less as the book went on, so i'm not that bothered by it.
definitely recommended if you're looking for 19th century italy inspired fantasy that features genderfluid streghe, political intrigue, a cool magic system, and a fun romance.
