Our Satyr Prince is a spicy, queer, mythological fantasy, with a base in Greek myth but plenty of original spin. With all the political scheming and plotting that we love in a good high fantasy, the deep, real connections to characters, and some damn good sex scenes, this book is a treat and a dream for the queer lover of fantasy who longs for a bit of smut in their world. Calix is a swoon worthy beast of a man, Aurelius is a fun character, with a real undercurrent of turmoil and sadness, and every other character felt fleshed out and real, with their own personality and motivations.

I am so glad I read this, and I absolutely devoured it in a single day. I can't wait for more from this series, and from what I can tell, the author does have an awful lot more to come for us (phrasing). I can not recommend this book highly enough, and I'll be buying myself a physical copy!
