My final Makuru (winter) read for #booked2022, Non-Patriarchal Society. The Harwood Spellbook series is set in a magical Angland where the women of the Boudiccate dominate politics, while the more emotional men are the magic-workers. Burgis' heroines are breaking out of those strict gender roles.

And it's Djilba (first spring) already, so on to the next set of six prompts!

I didn't like this as much as the first book -- some of the gender role flipping just feels, well, too flippant somehow; I didn't believe in it, so it's harder to invest in seeing the gender roles re-subverted. But the Harwood family's relationship does work and kept me reading.

Self-Care Sunday
This actually a weekly Sunday evening ritual. A little time of absolute silence and rest before the chaos of the week begins again.
