Amazing Fantasy Mystery
This book was amazing from start to finish. The mystery behind both the plot and the name of the book seems dry at first, setting up for a murder mystery that has been done before, but the author creates a stunning new twist on the old whodunnit trope.
The queer representation in relationships in this novel is what really sets it apart from others in the genre, however. A touching and believable romance between two of the queens made my heart sing during their every interaction (though naturally I was saddened at the fates they met).
Part of the brilliance of this book is knowing at the start that the queens are “dead,” but having different timing create a greater puzzle for the reader to solve. Overall, I loved this book, and definitely watch for more from the author in the future!
