Power Circuits: Polyamory in a Power Dynamic by Raven Kaldera

3.0

I'm not sure if this book is incredibly well-written or if I was just in a place in my life to entirely absorb it. As the first book I read about D/s relationships, I feel like I came away with a lot of newly born appreciation for types of relationships I had previously looked somewhat down upon. I'm not sure if that would have been the case regardless of what D/s book I read, but the poly perspective definitely helped, as I consider myself polyamorous first. It did feel a bit sexist at times, especially when it came to lesbian and gay relationships, at least as far as this Millennial is concerned, but to be fair, I understand that the intent was to express generalizations in the history of their respective movements. It also got a bit dry reading through chapter after chapter of personal essays from writers-in, but I'm SO glad that I stayed through the whole book as the final two were adorable and closer to my own situation.
