I’m new to reading self-published work, and the quality of the writing is so good that when I finished this I was surprised it wasn’t published by TOR or another well-known imprint. That said I’m happy to avoid the publishing lags and have already preordered Book 2.
I really hope Book 2 (or 3? I don’t know how many are planned as I write this) lets us enjoy Cylvan & Saffron happy together, once they defeat their enemies and smash down the politics and villains that keep them apart and oppressed. Taran’s abuse tactics are so grounded in reality & Kaelar’s lechery feels so real, that I’m left angry at the other characters who comply and enable them.
Moderate: Classism, Gaslighting, Emotional abuse, and Murder
