The King's Delight by Sarah Honey
☀️☀️☀️
▪️A short, sharp read that delivers the bare minimum
▪️I was intrigued by the idea of a kinky queer forbidden romance, but the sweetness and simplicity of the story didn't really balance out with the darker elements, glossing over any and all potential issues too perfectly to feel real
▪️The writing wasn't really interesting enough to hold my interest, and I kept waiting for some plot progression to aid the process but all of the conflicts seemed to resolve themselves before any significant tension could be built
▪️The characterisation of Leo in particular felt weird and not appropriate for his title, but the others were decent enough to make me finish reading, though I can't say I was ever invested in the romance or the politics
▪️For a book I knocked out in a few hours I'm not mad about how simple this was, but it's definitely forgettable enough that I cannot rate it higher.
