How to Find a Princess by Alyssa Cole
5.0

So, I suspect that I say this with every Alyssa Cole book I read, but seriously, this book is my favorite!!!

Badass damsel rescuer and all around agent of chaos Beznaria entirely stole my heart with her magnificent firefly brain, dreamy charm and deep desire to protect folks who need it! And holy moly, do I over-identify with Makeda, who worries she is a doormat with her constant need to care-take, but who learns with time and practice that she is in fact a multi-tool with helping super powers that just need to be deployed thoughtfully? Yep, I sure do! Also, Bez’s family is a delight and I want to be Grandma Ora’s bestie- the author writes such wonderful side characters!

(The fact that a huge chunk of this review is just me repeating phrases that the character use themselves goes to show just how brilliant and thoughtful and fun and wise this story is! Also, have I mentioned yet that it is Very Hot? Because it sure is! *fans self*)

Go read this swoony sapphic read right now so we can gush about it together, please and thank you!
