The Unbinding of Mary Reade by Miriam McNamara

5.0

adventurous emotional lighthearted tense fast-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: No

A refreshing feminist take on an inspiring story with lovable (and hateable) characters and themes of self acceptance and discovery. The sapphic romance is beautifully written and filled with tension. Though there are sex scenes in the book, they read more like poetry than smut (and as a smut-lover myself I still really enjoyed them).
