Seraphina

by Rachel Hartman

Our rating

Spice 1/5 Darkness 2/5

Spice: barely any. Darkness: some dark moments.

In Goredd, dragons can fold themselves into human shape, and the treaty keeping the peace is barely holding. Seraphina is a court musician hiding exactly what she is. The romance with Prince Lucian is slow and sweet, and the prose is gorgeous if you don't mind a gentle pace.
