A bard-turned-huntress is compelled to venture alone into the depths of the Underworld to save the soul of her estranged best friend and that of his new wife after their wedding ends in tragedy.

Nestled between Xena: Warrior Princess and the works of Madeline Miller, Well of Souls is a feminist queer reimagining of the mythological tale of Eurydice and Orpheus, a novelette for readers who obsessed over Greek mythology growing up and now they’re pagan or gay or both.

Currently reading Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige.

I got dragged for saying this before getting banned from Fable, but if a white man wrote it, a BIPOC woman did it better. There are a lot of similarities between this story and Wicked, but I'm ALREADY more engaged.
