Description
An epic sapphic fantasy roadtrip inspired by the fall of Rome, from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Frontier and Floating Hotel
On one side of the world, Aleya Ana-Ulai is desperate for a chance. Her family have written her off as a mistake, but she's determined to prove every last one of them wrong.
On the other, Kirby of Wall's End is searching for redemption. An ancient curse tore her life apart, but to fix it, she'll have to leave everything behind.
Fate sets them both on the path to Nivela, a city once poised to conquer the world with the power of a thousand stolen gods. Now the gates are closed and the old magic slumbers. Dead — or waiting for a spark to light it anew…
A character-driven science-fantasy road trip book with sword fights and a slowburn romance, Idolfire delves into the vastness of history and the terrifying power of organized faith.

this one is very good as long as you’re willing to contend with the fact that the ending is not as cozy as the rest of the book. i liked the ending a lot— as well as the rest of the book— bc going TOO cozy rarely works for me, but i can see this ending being a little controversial especially as this is marketed as a cozy fantasy.
to be clear; it is, for the most part! funny, cozy adventure. just that there’s a little more going on here than the usual cozy fantasy, which can be a strength or not depending on what kind of reader you are. definitely one to give a chance to regardless.
