A MARVELLOUS LIGHT by Freya Marske
The rich writing style is filled with clever metaphors and descriptions that seem borderline excessive but help establish an entertaining magical world. In contrast, I found the narrative underwhelming and monotonous even though it seemed fitting for the historical setting.

BLOODMARKED by Tracy Deonn
