I'm FLOORED!!
This book shattered my soul and brought it back together, multiple times! I want to read it a thousand times more, and then a thousand times again! There is so much love and life experience woven into this story and it's characters. I felt like I was experiencing it first hand at times. Like I was sitting in Ariah's living room listening to him tell this story over a family dinner.
The books itself reads like an auto-biography. The world and the characters and races aren't explicitly stated. It's very much up to the reader to immerse themselves and pick up on the details. While it was a bit tough to do this in the first chapters, it was easy enough to see the patterns as I read on, and on and on!
A great read for those looking for magic, elves, love, and the difficulties of being understood. It's a very kind book, with a happy ending!

this was really hard to get through sometimes and I really didn't expect it to contain this much sex but I really enjoyed the ending.
ARIAH's blurb does not even begin to encompass the captivating experience this novel is, and I mean that in the best way possible. BR Sander's writing is gorgeous, lyrical in a sort of underspoken way I can only admire. And although there is magic and an shitty empire, ARIAH is not an action fantasy story. It is very much character driven, with a marvelous literary undercurrent. ARIAH touches on how our closed ones impact our sense of selves, how cultures can clash without one being right and the other wrong, how there are layers upon layers to people, but it brings these topics with a masterful hand, everything tied to Ariah's fascinating life.
For the record, there is a lot of exploration of sex and romance, in several different facets (diff cultures, diff relationships). Neither of which is considered essential to the other, yay!! I mention because I know other asexuals prefer to have none, and also because not all of it has clear consent. Most of it is incredibly healthy, well brought, and insightful, and polyamory abounds through the novel so <3 . I am very happy about the amount of queerness throughout the entire book.
