I adored Neon Gods but this was even better! I love getting to see a
FMC, who is shaped like me, but has
confidence but is also still realistic about how it can be hurtful living under society’s expectations. But her size isn’t her entire character trope, or even a large majority of it. Love that.
I love that Psyche is complex but at her core just kind and good. She survives and is cunning in ways but she’s not full of turmoil. Those characters are good too but she was a lovely change of pace. And Eros? That’s a Rhysand level male, right there. And I rarely bestow that honor on anyone. HIGHLY recommend.
I also love that this series just openly talks about how it seems almost default that most people are basically Pansexual. It’s not a label or a fetish or sexualized. It’s talked about in such a normal way, like Hererosexual people normally get talked about in our society.
