I’m pleasantly surprised!!
I absolutely adored this beautiful world! The connections between the characters, especially Yeeran and Lettle really warmed my heart. I also really enjoy a world that’s so casually queer and matriarchal. It felt so nice to read a book where the danger is something other than violence against women or non straight people.
The story telling was a little clunky at times, with certain portions becoming difficult to understand what was going on exactly or how things were being said. The first third and final third of the book were REALLY captivating for me. The middle third was a bit slow and therefore, a large portion of the book felt like set up for future plot and the main plot of the series didn’t come about until the final few chapters of the book. I also wasn’t ENTIRELY convinced on how we got from point A to point B of our romances but I genuinely liked the dynamic between our couples so that wasn’t really an issue for me.
So far I’m excited!! Can’t wait for book 2!!
