Looking for romantic fantasy books that have a lush aesthetic and are coded hyperfeminine in terms of a focus on beauty, fashion, the marriage mart. Think something by Dhonielle Clayton or Bridgerton-but-with-magic.
The romance aspect is less important than the quality of the worldbuilding. Bonus points if the “girly” elements are an integral part of the politics or magic system. More bonus points if that girliness is the superficial sugar covering up evil and dysfunction.
Any recs? Adult and YA books both welcome.
