Incredible. Loved it. Reminded me a lot of both The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and Our Infinite Fates.

I finished Byrdfyre Covenant by Jayne Starwing (thanks for the early ARC!) a little while ago but requested it again on NG just to post this. I’m still thinking about it, weeks later. I'm obsessed. This is an incredible series starter fantasy romance with a historical setting. Amazing. Slow burn, no spice, but sooooo much dreamy promise. Beautifully written. It's a blend of so many things - historical fiction, literature, and romantasy. It hit all the right notes. The story follows Astrid, a reluctant surviving of the Black Plague. Throw in a martyr and an Old God and more and you get a recipe for greatness! Incredible book. Truly. I am FERAL for more.
