"Adale took Esofi’s hand and raised it to her lips. The kiss was brief, barely more than a brush, but Esofi felt an odd lurch in her stomach at the gesture.

“I have forgiven her,” said Esofi. “She cannot help her nature. Or did you mean for me to hate her forever?”

“Not forever,” said Lexandrie. “Just until she is well and truly sorry. No more than a year.”

When I first released TQOI back in 2018 or whatever, I did all my best promotion and had all my favorite interactions on tumblr. Which makes sense bc it was my social media platform of choice when I was a teenager...

New Review
Queen of Ieflaria by Effie Calvin is a fantasy set in a rich world where gods, dragons and magic play a real and important role in the stories. It’s the first book in the series and a brilliant beginning.

Here is a list of places you can buy this thing if you are so inclined: linktr.ee/effiecalvin
Hey wait stop scrolling I have a thing to show you! Do you ever wish for a sapphic princess romance set in a queernormative world full of dragons and magic where everyone has a stupid unpronounceable high fantasy name? You do? Really? That’s so weirdly specific. Anyway, I have a book for you to read or possibly just buy and add to your TBR pile and forget about! Either way is fine with me.

Part 1.

My friend @effiecalvin.bsky.social is republishing her books! To help with the launch I thought it would be fun to make a minicomic! Meet Princess Esofi, who is very determined to Do A Good Job and Princess Adale who feels Incapable of Doing a Good Job.

The new fancy sparkly special reprinted edition of The Queen of Ieflaria is out in just a few days on the 16th of December! Links here: linktr.ee/effiecalvin
Okay so what is going on here? This is a new, revised edition of The Queen of Ieflaria, the first book in the currently out of print Tales of Inthya series, which is a bunch of books about queer ladies going on adventures and getting married and stuff. This new version has been totally reedited and is about 20k words longer than the original. It also has a pronunciation guide (finally!), some lore stuff, and a little short story in the back! What is the book about? Princess Esofi of Rhodia was betrothed to Crown Prince Albion of Ieflaria. But then he died! And next in line for the throne is his younger sister, Princess Adale. This isn’t as much of a problem as you’d think it would be because this is a queernormative setting where the gods specifically said, “Yes we are cool with this.” Except Princess Adale is kind of a mess and doesn’t really want to marry Esofi even though she’s really cute. Adale thinks she’ll make a bad queen because she has untreated ADHD. But Esofi has to marry someone or else she’ll be forced to go home to her awful family. Also there’s dragons and they want to eat everyone.

Sitting in an airport, flying home for Thanksgiving. Sleepy and bored. I got here so early and probably could have slept in another hour at least lol.
