Decadence by Soph Tang
emotional
reflective
5.0
I’m a big fan of Soph’s writing and it’s especially lovely in Decadence. There were a few times where I had to stop and reread lines just to bask in their beauty. Or reread them because they spoke to me so clearly, especially when it came to Elise’s relationship with Viri. Elise has had a lot of the same feelings I’ve had about my own relationship, and it was nice to see them reflected in such a relatable way.
The story was great, with plenty of background info on Elise and Lily’s relationship to help you understand why receiving a text from Lily disrupts her life so severely. Elise spends a lot of time asking herself “what if?” and feeling A LOT of feelings. I saw another review mention “disaster gays” and honestly… yes.
A couple times, I was a little confused while reading but I found that I liked it (especially since it didn’t happen often/didn’t take away from the story). I can’t give specific examples (because spoilers!), but I enjoyed coming up with my own ideas for why they happened and I wonder if certain character behaviors will be further explained in future books.
I’m really intrigued by the concept of the Across Space and Time series. It sounds kind of like a multiverse kind of thing but… a little different, and I like that the books will be different genres. I’m looking forward to reading and learning more about these characters, especially Theo. I need to know more about Theo!
Thank you, Soph, for letting me read an early copy!
