A Cruel and Fated Light by Ashley Shuttleworth

medium-paced

5.0

A very satisfying second installment in this series! IT QUEER, IT SAPPHIC, IT GAY, IT FULL OF TENSION ACROSS THE SPECTRUM. There are villain backstory interludes! Sexy sword lessons! Bodyguard pining! Inclusive fae mythology! A super nerdy magic system involving a 20 sided die that I will never not find entertaining! And throughout all of this, more world building and new characters (part of that tension) and some great setup for the next book! 

There are also some trigger warnings: suicide off-page and on-page, grief, death, blood, working through trauma. The author has posted (website) where some of these possibly triggering mentions are in the book. Be kind to yourself in reading it.
