The Councillor by E.J. Beaton
Complex high fantasy world
Centered around one bisexual disaster scholar adopted by the queen
Queer cast of likeable yet morally grey politicians
Can be a bit dense but very rewarding
Very good foreshadowing
Bad french, alas :( I'll forgive it because one city is called Bref and that's absolutely hilarious
Not a cliffhanger but gods I wish I could get the sequel like, right now
8.5/10

Got this from the library on a TikTok recommendation. Apparently it has good bi representation. After reading a little about it I'm not sure it's quite up my alley but I'm gonna give it a try.

that speech patterns post got me thinking and I feel like it would be wildly hilarious if Bronte starts picking up teenage slang from his inflicting sessions with Sophie.
Like it's a council meeting, and Emery is like 'yeah we can't seem to get the trolls to cooperate in negotiations' and Bronte just goes "skill issue". And everyone else loses their shit because what the fuck Bronte.
