Lighting the Lamp by K.R. Collins

5.0

So good! Sophie finally gets to play with Elsa and they are living their best life. Like with previous books in this series, the timeline runs from the draft to the end of season awards and the themes focus mostly on Sophie's struggles with being a model minority with the added issues of being on the asexual spectrum (she is demi). The latter is what I enjoyed the most as it was reminiscent of many stories my ace friends have shared with me and it was the newest element, without which this entry would have been too close to book 2. I also liked that the other coaches got some development and Sophie starts to see more clearly the nature of her relationship with Coach Butler.

If I had a complaint, it would be the lack of resolution to the developing romantic subplot, however, I am allosexual so that is 100% my problem and what fanfic is made for*. Heck, even if none of my many, many ships don't sail, I would still continue reading this series. Condors for life!

*I want to make an otome (dating sim) where the player is Sophie so I can romance Dima, Elsa, and Lexie. I want to have my three cakes and eat them too.
