The Dangerous Kingdom of Love by Neil Blackmore
5.0
✨4.5✨
Only rating down half a star due to my own stupidity and lack of understanding certain things that likely made my enjoyment of this book a bit harder.
However, oh my gosh this book is a stunning piece of prose and as a lover of queer historical fiction I cannot help but adore it. It is truly heartbreaking and is hugely lead by an unreliable narrator and I'll definitely need to go and read something a little lighter after this book, but wow.
The way this book explores power dynamics and makes you question everything, as well as also being a wonderful telling of a true story is truly phenomenal.
