I'm making some progress in this book tonight! How do I even describe this? It's set in a desert wasteland in a futuristic/fantasy world where adultery is the most reviled crime. The heroine is out for revenge and is trying to frame the king for adultery and get him executed. It's an interesting read so far. #currentlyreading
