The Sons of Thestian by M.E. Vaughan

4.0

This book has DESTROYED me. I love the characters. I love the plot. The world building was phenomenal. I literally shed tears at the end. I just loved so many thing about this book!!!!! The ending made me feel SO MANY THINGS. Also, I empathized with nearly all the characters, even the ones I really disliked.
There were some typos and a few errors here and there but were easily looked past in my opinion. The one thing I was kind of disappointed about was the lack of explicit representation, when I heard this book had a bi main character I was super excited. As a bi girl, I love finding books with good representation. While there were a few moments that told us Rufus is interested in men as well, they could be easily glossed over and readers could've assumed he was straight. I know the plot obviously takes precedence over his sexuality, but I would've liked a little more explicit portrayal. Hopefully it'll get a bit better in the next book!
Overall, I really recommend this book. It was fun to read and I loved getting to know the characters. I'm definitely excited for what comes next.
