A Treachery of Swans was one of my most anticipated reads this year, after reading and loving the authors debut, Where the Dark Stands Still, I couldn’t wait to read more from her!

A Treachery of Swans was such an atmospheric and mysterious read. I really enjoyed this Black Swan retelling.

Definitely pick this one up if you like the slowest of slow burn sapphic romances, magical and atmospheric reads!

luscious writing, historical setting, sapphic romance- what more could a girl want? this was my first book by poranek but after this, it’s certainly not my last! more of a vibe-y book than plot heavy, i throughly enjoyed that although it did take me eons to read (as someone who sits and finishes a book in a handful of sittings) but that could’ve just been my mood! i will say it is very atmospheric and if you’re looking for a villain story this will absolutely be your cup of tea ✨

Oh, this book was gorgeous all the way through. From a girl desperate to find a sense of security in her life to a a king being murdered, it's a fantasy that dug itself into my bones. It's a book that cuts, but there is also a gentleness to it, and I seriously adored it.
