A review by corinnek
King of Sword and Sky by C.L. Wilson
3.0
- 3.5/5 stars -
This book was definitely a bit heavier on the plot than the first two, but I was pretty on board with it. The plot is interesting. I'm a little unsure of what to expect in the next book, because it seemed like things were wrapped as far as the over-arching narrative of the series, but I'll definitely read it.
This series is really well-written and definitely feels elevated when compared to some other romance-focused fantasy series, but it definitely is relentlessly heteronormative. Like, so much heterosexuality, it was a bit much for me. The whole, omg women can't kill anyone because they're sooo empathetic they would die if they hurt anyone at all :') so compassionate and amazing, women are so soft :') is veery grating, lol.
