This one of the books available in the Pride Bundle. Thank you Tachyon for giving me a copy.
I am not a fantasy fan, never have been. iam is trying to change that, but it is a very long battle. This book would have been a really good choice for them to make me read to get me into fantasy.
This is very much the sort of fantasy I can get into. From what little I know about fantasy, this would be romantic fantasy or I like to call it the space opera of the kingdoms. There was such a focus on the characters and found family that I got so heavily invested. I never once doubted that the right thing would happen, instead I was worried about if the moral thing would destroy them emotionally. That is the sort of drama I need in my life.
I loved that this was a quick read that didn’t blather on about politics of any of the kingdoms. I couldn’t care less about who is and is not vying for the throne and things like that. I care about the “smaller” details like are the people being fed. I love the underdog stories. I love that this happened after the underdog story though. I would immediately buy the prequel to this where they are the underdogs. Make me fall in love with Odessa and then emotionally destroy me with this book. I dare you, Dunbar (please).
Overall, I really liked it. It was very queer and very much a book that made sense in my life. Give me social assistance programs and a society that doesn’t require them because everyone is already cared for and I will be in love.
