This book series is perfect, literally the kinky, polyamorous, and magical dream. I am so obsessed with all of Dom's realtionships and how he has all these different fun and nuanced dynamics. I loved watching him find his confidence over the book, and Arlon collaring him was super hot and compelling. I love the way Dom is able to see what people need and give it to them, especially those he cares for that are navigating different and complex trauma healing. The overarching plot is interesting and feels like it has momentum that a lot of erotica doesn't tend to include. The sex and bdsm scenes are very well written, deeply hot, and cover a wide spectrum of kink. It doesn't matter if I normally wouldn't be into something, when Alethea Faust writes it I'm down for anything. I can't wait to see what the next story brings, and it's taking all my restraint to pace myself through the series instead of devouring it all in a few days.
