A very happy book birthday to @awayintheshire.bsky.social and THIS BLADE OF OURS! One of my 5 star reads from this year, I highly recommend this duology to those interested in darker fantasy that takes an unflinching look at institutions, particularly the justice system. With bonus Darklina vibes! 😍
