Markless

This YA sapphic fantasy of magic and extreme classism evoked a mixed bag of feelings in me.  It was very age appropriate, in the 12 – 18-year-old range, featuring an unrequited love between the heir to a throne and a witch from the despised bottom class of society.  The prose was good, but the world building was a little uneven.  The plot was very good, but I couldn’t tell if I liked the ending or not.  Still, when I actually closed the book, I realized I enjoyed the whole thing, especially the character development.  It’s just been nominated for a 2025 Lambda Literary Award for Speculative Fiction.
