Title: The Queen of Ieflaria
Author: Effie Calvin
Genre: Fantasy, LGBT, Romance
Date of Publication: 19th February, 2018
Page Count: 182 pages (paperback)
Synopsis: (from Goodreads)
Princess Esofi of Rhodia and Crown Prince Albion of Ieflaria have been betrothed since they were children but have never met. At age seventeen, Esofi’s journey to Ieflaria is not for the wedding she always expected but instead to offer condolences on the death of her would-be husband.
But Ieflaria is desperately in need of help from Rhodia for their dragon problem, so Esofi is offered a new betrothal to Prince Albion’s younger sister, the new Crown Princess Adale. But Adale has no plans of taking the throne, leaving Esofi with more to battle than fire-breathing beasts.
This had a rough start and I put it aside for a long while because I wasn’t feeling it, but the allure of a f/f pairing in a fantasy setting was too much to give up on that easily, so I came back determined to continue with this and ended up really enjoying it! I’m so glad I persevered because The Queen of Ieflaria has such a good-natured humor and charm to it with an endearing ship, and I would’ve been sadly missing out.
