Why read it?
1 author picked Metanoia as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Metanoia is the first dark fantasy story that I can say I tremendously enjoyed. The world-building is phenomenal and the characters really grab you from the start and don't let go, even after you've reached the last page. And of course, we're treated to some lovely queer rep in the form of a scholarly lesbian couple and two best friends who clearly feel more than just friendship towards one another.
From Rita's list on fantasy with LGBT+ rep.
