It takes a moment to be pulled into the narrative style, but it’s well worth the read! Once you get to Sorcha everything is great. The book is far more character driven than plot driven, but we are shown a vast amount of the fantasy world that Sanders has created.
Main gripe is a lack of strong female characters. Lots of gay men but no gay women, let alone women that actually talk to each other.
