Oak King Holly King by Sebastian Nothwell
5.0
This is hands down one of my favorite books of all time. The serotonin this book provided me with start to finish…..
We have: classical fairy lore, an absolutely adorable couple, fabulous creatures, and a subplot of a somewhat gothic style Victorian murder mystery?? Amazing.
I loved how the characters’ relationship was able to develop throughout the book, while external factors provided the action/ conflict/ mystery. The relationship itself was equal part wholesome and hot, and we got all the deliciousness of a romance without the romantic tension being the only tension of the story.
This book gave me pure joy, dare I say.. queer euphoria. 13/10
