A solid YA fantasy read (the first in a duology), Joy's Robert of Royal Blood offers strong world building pulling from North African mythologies, and a kickass female MC. Magic, mythology, and a battle for a Queendom (with just a little bit of a love story, that adds dimension without taking away from the primary journey). I'm in for book two!
Thanks @Blerdgal_Fenix for introducing me to this one., and for always being my buddy reader!
