seventhchariot 's review for:
A Curse of Roses
by Diana Pinguicha
A sapphic OwnVoices historical fantasy!!!
Rating: 3.5/5 stars (rounding up to 4/5)
The sapphic yearning!!! Oh My! Oh My! This was so cute, while at the same time touching on very important topics (see TW at the bottom of this review). The romance, while a bit insta-lovey-was my favorite aspect of this book! Followed closely behind with the unique magic system (although I wish it was elaborated on more).
"Never believe the interpretations of men. They distort the original meaning to suit themselves."
I feel like this is a super important book for anyone questioning their sexuality and struggling with balancing that and their religion. There is just so much to unpack in this book-from the feminist vibes to the scariness of coming out to yourself and others, this book discusses it all amazingly!
Trigger Warnings: religious-based self harm, religious-based eating disorders, and religious-based internalized homophobia
"And with that gift, she would change the country."
