sunshinestark's review against another edition
5.0
If you've been searching for a story with a main character where their sexuality (asexuality to be exact) is not the focus of the story, look no further than this dark fantasy. Linsey Miller fantastically weaves a story about monsters and the potential end of the world with a variety of queer characters that will have you racing through each page. Born into a world where some people are gifted with powers of either creation or destruction through lineage from beings called the Vile or the Noble, Lorena has kept her powers a secret. She is one of the rare few who are gifted with both Vile and Noble powers. After outing herself in order to save someone she loves, Lorena is forced to work with Prince Alistair to stop a sentient door keeping the Vile at bay from opening. The Prince's reputation as cruel and terrifying is well known, but the more Lorena gets to know him, the more she sees there's more to him than the rumors let on. As they become closer and her former relationships are pushed to the breaking edge as secrets are unveiled Lorena must decide what she's willing to sacrifice to save those who most deserve it.
