This is a short, humorous, Sapphic fantasy on drugs. Unfortunately I didn't click with the humour, which is a pity because I do think it is well written and original. So this is a So-So for me but I would still urge people to try it because I know those who do click with the humour will absolutely LOVE it. It also might be one to try on audio.

This novella set in an 18th-century parliament inhabited by humans and fairies is clever, funny and satirical, but the plot and characters just didn't appeal to me all that much. I adore the cover image, though.

This was the final book I finished for the #MagnificentMay readathon. I met 5 of my 6 goals so am quite happy with the result. Thanks to @Andrew65 for hosting!

If this had been longer, I might have finished it but I found it hard to enjoy the alternate world without any world building. Faries and only females in a world that might be doomed... cool but I didn't connect enough with it.

This Nebula Award nominated novella is odd, quirky, &, mostly entertaining. Through no fault of her own, Lana finds herself sent to the Low Parliament where, if the ministers don‘t reach agreements on matters, Parliament will be flooded & war will break out. Oh, & there are grumpy fairies who can‘t decide if humans are even worth bothering with to complicate things. As commentary on political process it‘s ok but there isn‘t much story.

This was a fun, quick historical fantasy read set in a world where grumpy faeries force humans to work together in parliament to prevent wars--or else drown them all. When a scribe is forced to go to parliament during a state of crisis, her flirty ways and flippant attitude help her befriend one of the fairy overseers and slowly transform into a determination to stop humans from destroying themselves. A cute romp of a read!
