Traitors of the Black Crown by Cate Pearce

Lesbian knight disguised as a man??? I am totally in!!
This is a multi pov story following a knight on the run, a peasant turned duchess and a queen with a very dark secret.
The writing style is very accessible if you are new to the fantasy genre. I caught a lot of Game of Throne vibes while reading. It read almost like a Game of Thrones fan fiction novel. I would recommend this to anyone loooking for that vibe but in a more PG setting. You do get a few steamy bits but it’s more suggestions and heavy petting.
I loved jumping between the pov of the heroes and the villains. Stories like this always make you feel something for the “villain” that ultimately makes you question your own moral compass.
There were some slow bits in between the battle scenes but I think the author did a very good job at using those moments to weave in more character building.
This is a great start to a new series and I am very excited to read where the author takes these characters!!
