General Winston's Daughter

3/5. YA romantic fantasy about the general's daughter who joins him on campaign in the country he has just colonized, and how she starts to become fantasy woke as a rebellion brews and she falls out of love with her fiancé and into love with the wrong man.

Deceptively cute. This book leans hard into the heroine's bubbly, giggly persona for a long time. It's all shopping, parties, flirting – oh by the way, imperialism is bad. I kid. Mostly. This is a sweet, mildly shallow story with a surprising sting in the tail to lend it complexity in the end.
