It’s all just very sexy and I am SO invested in these two. These two were made for each other and their romance is tense, sweet and gorgeous – just *chef’s kiss*. Nirrim slowly accepts her sexuality in a beautiful way. It starts with a grudging friendship that quickly turns into Nirrim silently lusting over Sid whilst ignoring her advances and blushing all the time. The romance is SAPPHIC and it is perfect, literally perfect. She is honestly TOTALLY swoon-worthy, so y’all better swoon. Sid is enigmatic and charming, suave and flirty with a mysterious past, and she cares fiercely for Nirrim. Sid fits perfectly the Bad Boy ™ trope, but she’s a GIRL. “So you tell me what would make a good, quiet girl get herself in trouble, especially when she had so much to lose. We follow her perspective as she unties a complicated web of deception. Her story is primarily of finding herself and who she is beyond who she has been told to be. Nirrim is loving and stronger than she thinks. Her voice is curious and she is clearly naive. Nirrim is our heroine, though quite untraditional to most we see in YA today. The characters were just one of the many things I ADORED about this book. Marie Rutkoski does not disappoint with The Midnight Lie, the start of a new series that centres around a stunning sapphic romance, sprinkled with magic and adventure.
