If Juliana needs to use magic to get her stubborn fiancée to pay her attention…well, then, as the top student in her class, she is more than ready to take on that challenge! Quietly brilliant Juliana Banks is determined to win back the affections of her secret fiancée, rising politician Caroline Fennell, who has become inexplicably distant. A sword and sorcery tale with emotional resonance, City of a Thousand Feelings brims with both the visceral and the allegorical, allowing the two trans women at the center of the story to claim their own space.īuy it: Aqueduct Press Moontangled by Stephanie Burgis (3rd)įor just one moonlit, memorable night, Thornfell College of Magic has flung open its doors, inviting guests from around the nation to an outdoor ball intended to introduce the first-ever class of women magicians to society…but one magician and one invited guest have far more pressing goals of their own for the night. As the narrator and her friend’s lives are sundered apart, they must come to terms with what it means to not have a home, and what it means to be queer and aching for such a home. They must come to terms with not only the City’s literal and figurative gatekeeping, but also other, even more sinister forces that use necromancy against them. Two of the trans women in this army forge a deep, complicated, and at times contentious friendship spanning thirty years.
It’s a place where emotions can become visible, but it flees the approach of a makeshift army who want to enter. The City of a Thousand Feelings doesn’t let certain people inside its walls. City of a Thousand Feelings by Anya Johanna DeNiro (1st)
