A Taste of Honey by Kai Ashante Wilson

5.0

I loved this! Maybe I just haven't read fantasy or romance in a long time, but this book reminded me of why both genres can be so fun. The world building is fantastic! I haven't seen such an interesting setting in a good while! I love the mix of the familiar (math, latin, misogyny) while also totally messing with what we would expect (are the men illiterate???). And the romance was adorable and heartbreaking. Aquib and Lucrio felt instantly alive to me, especially Aquib.
A fun a quick read, idk if I'll read the book that comes before it. I don't feel as if its necessary.
