I read The Language of Roses by Heather Rose Jones, also author of the Alpennia series. It's a feminist, L(gbtqi)A, retelling of the French literary fairytale La Belle et la Bête (Beauty and the Beast), in which beauty is the power of different types of love and the beast is coercion and domestic abuse (whether familial or marital). It retains the fairytale setting and plot alterations are expertly done. I didn't work out what was going on until about a third of the way through, but our heroine has to wait even longer. The lesbian side-couple are sweet, and the heroine's aromantic nature is given its due. A very good read and recommended to people who like well-written retellings.

@jaymeb @kimlockhartga I have read at least 15 of and . I hadn’t read any since Atwood’s, and then CIRCE came out and started this craze. It’s *delicious.* The only problem is making myself read other things! Especially since I get ARCs from the publishers.
