If you’re itching to read about fierce female warriors after seeing The Marvels, look no further than Nikki Pau Preto’s Crown of Feathers series, set in a world ruled by fierce warrior queens, and centering a complicated sister relationship reminiscent of Gamora and Nebula from Guardians of the Galaxy. Betrayed by her sister, Veronyka sets out to find the legendary Phoenix Riders of old and join their ranks, no matter what it takes.

Like many of the heroes in the Marvel universe, wielding such an immense power, and being at the center of such a large conflict as a result, is the last thing Artemisia wants for herself, but getting to watch her grow into her heroic role is one of the many things that makes Vespertine such an amazing read.
