Screen shot from article: 

We close with Krempholtz's charming romantasy, VIOLET THISTLEWAITE IS NOT A VILLAIN ANYMORE (Ace, 368 pp., paperback, $19). One of my favorite fantasy tropes is stories that explore the time after a heroic journey:
What do saviors do once the world has been saved? What does a villain's henchwoman do when the villain has finally fallen?

The cover for Violet Thistlewaite is Not a Villain Anymore by Emily Krempholtz which features an illustrated scene within a border of two figures standing outside of a plant shop. One has tan skin, short brown hair, stubble, and is wearing a trench coat and brown slacks. They have their arms crossed. The other has pale skin, long, curly brown hair, a pink shirt and apron, and holds their hands up with floral magic coming from their palms. A large dark purple dragon is above them and blows florals instead of fire. The tagline reads "Every thorn has its rose."

You grate fresh nutmeg into a pot of applesauce and ladle some into a small, delicate dish to set on your back step. In the morning, in its place, is a small bundle of black feathers tipped with violet, and a rough-made pot of acorn ink.

The boy fell asleep against the willow, his hands unfurled, and driven by her loneliness, the East Wind scoured the earth for treasures to leave on his palm, so that when he awoke, he would see that there was someone who loved him.

You spend the morning collecting the last apples from the wild orchard, planning a feast of pies and butters and preserves. You always put a small, honey-sweet pie at the base of the oldest tree, and while you’ve never seen who takes it, afterward you’ll find odd coins in the bark all winter long.

You bite into butter-rich pastry, sharp cheddar and a hint of rosemary rolling over your tongue. The crumbs melt like snowflakes behind you as they land on the path, but
you never did plan on finding your way back.

One of my favorite things is when you compliment someone in public and then everyone around you suddenly feels free to speak the kind things they've been thinking about each other and the line for the women's bathroom or whatever just becomes a huge hype space and everyone leaves with a smile
