I discovered this wonderful sapphic novel called Mrs. S,” written by K Patrick. I love the writing style; there are no quotation marks, and it's very stream-of-consciousness, which I find makes the story more immersive. There's not much in the way of plot, mainly just vibes. It's set in a boarding school, and it follows the relationship between the butch matron and femme headmistress. This book is so good that it's actually homophobic that I didn't find it during Pride Month! Anyway, if you haven't read it already, go give it a read!

Short answer: yes… Slightly longer answer: … but I didn't enjoy it
It's taken me a long time to get around to reading any Sarah Waters, mostly because I just didn't feel like I'd vibe with her books all that much. And I was right! I didn't!
Don't get me wrong, this is a well-written book. It's distinctly not a romance novel, though it does have romance in it. Romance, and quite a lot of fucking. Our story follows Nan, a simple oyster-seller's daughter, as she becomes enchanted by cross-dressing singer Kitty and follows her to the glamorous underbelly of Victorian London.
The story is vivid, the characters are complicated, interesting and alive, and the sex is impressively nasty at times. Waters does a great job of showing just how kinky the Victorians could be behind all the repression. It's a great book - so why didn't I enjoy it?
Honestly, I think it was just genre. It's a book set in the real world with realistic (albeit historical) problems. Nan makes a lot of bad choices and faces the consequences. Although I wouldn't say the story wallows, it definitely dwells in her misery, and it's a quite mundane misery. I was compelled enough to finish the book (and I genuinely really liked the ending) but the overall vibe was not for me.
Conclusion: Tipping the Velvet is Good (if you like that sort of thing)

Sargassa by Sophie Burnham
Tumblr media
Release date: 8 October 2024
Genre: adult speculative fiction
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Synopsis
In a world where Rome never fell, an unlikely group of protagonists are ready to burn down the empire in the first of this new speculative trilogy.
Selah Kleios is twenty-two years old and suddenly one of the most important women in the empires. The role of Imperial Historian is her birthright, something she’s been preparing for since birth--but she was supposed to have more time to learn the role from her father, the previous Historian. In the wake of her father’s sudden and shocking assassination, Selah finds herself custodian of more than just the Imperial Archives. There’s also the question of the two puzzling classified items her father left in her care—an ancient atlas filled with landscapes that don’t exist, and a carved piece of stone that seems to do nothing at all.
Soon, though, it becomes clear that the Iveroa Stone is more than just a slab of rock. With the reappearance of an old lost love who’s been blackmailed into stealing it for an unknown entity, Selah finds herself in a race to uncover the mysteries the Stone holds. But she isn’t the only one with an interest in it—she’ll have to contend with the deputy chief of police, an undercover spy, and her own beloved half brother along the way. What begins as an act of atonement and devotion ultimately pulls her into the crosshairs of deep state conspiracy, the stirrings of an underground independence movement, and questions that threaten to shake the foundational legitimacy of Roma Sargassa’s past, present, and future.

Review
Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC!
Not gonna lie, the beginning is pretty rough. The first 20% introduces brand new PoV chapters one after the other, with each PoV character being in a different place doing different things, plus time jumps, which made it hard to understand who's who and what's going on. I seriously considered DNFing, but I am so glad I decided to push through.
Once all the main characters have been established, the book kicks into gear. The plot is fast-paced and engaging, the story beats are on point and the build-up leading to the reveal at the end was so well-executed, I couldn't put it down. Speaking of the big reveal, looking back, there are elements that make so much more sense in hindsight, which shows how the author really thought everything through.
One part that was kind of lackluster for me was the characters. There isn't anything wrong with them, and objectively, the character work is great! But I just couldn't connect with any of them. The romance sub-plots are also kind of meh. I didn't dislike them, but I also didn't root for them.
At its heart, though, this book is about classism and injustice. The author does an excellent job of tackling these themes with the portrayal how the caste system works, as well as how the system is built to discriminate against the lower class while protecting the upper class. I find this especially timely, with everything going on in the world right now. This book is brimming with visceral rage, from rage against the system of oppression, to rage against personal injustices.
Besides the rough beginning, this book is fantastic, with a brilliant plot and well-developed world-building and themes. I cannot wait to read the sequel!

“I am not here out of obligation. I am not here because of divine duty. I chose to be here, Asterin. And if this ring tipped the scales and killed you, this world wouldn’t be worth walking.”
Please witness this stunning illustration of my princess and her bodyguard, Asterin and Oriana, from FALLING STAR! This gorgeous piece is by imedmi on Instagram, who also illustrated and designed the cover for FALLING STAR, which I can’t wait to show you when the time comes!
💫 And if you love this piece as much as I do, stay tuned! I’m planning to include some special goodies bundled with the book when I finally release it!
💫 if you’re just popping in, hey! I’m Jasmine, and I write dark, emotional stories about finding weird magic where you least expect it, and the messiness of being human. FALLING STAR will be my self-publishing debut, and it features bi rep, soulmates-gone-wrong, a haunted FMC with a martyr complex, a magic system inspired by Greek mythology, and lots of sapphic pining.
🩵 For now, you can add FALLING STAR on Goodreads and StoryGraph, subscribe to my newsletter (link in my bio!), or follow me here (or IG and TikTok) for more updates!
