A review by synth

1.0

I appreciated the general sexual and gender identity fluidity in this story, as well as the lack of unnecessary drama and unbelievable resolutions. But it was all very lust and love at first sight without any realistic development of a relationship. They spend the book fighting their attraction because a polyamorous triangle is a challenge, but there's no actual significant development in their feelings and interactions.
The other reason I found this book less than okay is the fact that, in a way, it idealizes the historical characters, despite trying to show them as complex and flawed.
