Lady Hotspur by Tessa Gratton

This book continues the story of the ancestors of THE QUEENS OF INNIS LEAR but with a new twist. In a world caught unaware in a political coup a war is about to begin that will set three friends and lovers against each other. The unusual element in this story is the gender switch of traditional roles and titles. Here, princes and knights are women and it is not uncommon for witches and mages to be men. We also see the political pairing of these three women in traditional marriages where their heart is with another strong woman. Violent and very political but you get a true sense of the unfairness of having to rule. Because the roles are not gender-specific we see a different side of what would normally feel like a medieval battle or something out of GAME OF THRONES. The magic of Innis Lear mixed with the political backstabbing makes for an interesting twist on the Shakespearean classic.
This will appeal greatly to young adults as well as adults.
