YA fantasy (romantic, cozy, queer)
So excited as she has a pretty low request rate :D
12/09/23 She ultimately ended up passing, saying the pacing was a little off for her, though she loved the world-building and characters. Just queried her a new adult romantasy last night and she requested the full again this morning!
1/02/24 Personalized Rejection. I recommend not querying her with fantasy romance/romantasy. She doesn't like romance being a main part of the plot. (The rejection was a little hurtful tbh)
