Maresi by Maria Turstchaninoff

★★★★★ stars

"'Why can men not come to the island?'

It was the first time Jai had ever asked a question in class. All heads turned toward her, but Sister O did not seem to notice anything unusual.

'This is sacred ground. The First Sisters knew it as soon as they arrived.'"

"I saw the same thing in him as I had seen in the eyes of the men who stole me and my sisters that night, and in the eyes of the man who had sold me for silver and gold: to them I am a thing."

– "Naondel" Maria Turtschaninoff

This thrilling prequel to the award-winning Maresi explores the founding of the Red Abbey Booklist called Maresi “utterly satisfying and completely different from standard YA fantasy.” Now, Naondel goes back to establish the world of the trilogy and tells the story of the First Sisters—the founders of the female utopia the Red Abbey. Imprisoned in a harem by a dangerous man with a dark magic that grants him power over life and death, the First Sisters must overcome their mistrust of one another in order to escape. But they can only do so at a great cost, both for those who leave and for those left behind. Told in alternating points of view, this novel is a vivid, riveting look at a world of oppression and exploitation, the mirror opposite of the idyllic Red Abbey.

I just I love Maria Turtschaninoff's book Naondel so much One of the main characters is a trans woman (though it's not revealed until the final chapters in a stray sentence where another woman says that her mind is a woman's and that's all that matters) and there's romance between that character and another woman and it's so sweet (also I headcanoned one character as ace because she totall could have been) and the whole story is about different women and aaaaaaa I love that book
