This was a deliciously sexy queer poly fantasy novel I didn’t expect to like so much. The main 3 characters are all presumably white men, so the story lacks diversity. That being said, I loved the world building and the pining angst. If it weren’t for the bloody battles and multiple deaths, this would be a cozy fantasy that checks a lot of boxes for things I love in queer fantasy: adorable animal side characters, noble sacrifices made in the name of gay love, and villains who are handed deserved karma.
Would definitely recommend. Many thanks to the author and publisher for the opportunity to have read an advanced copy this book for free. I am leaving this review voluntarily.
