A review by minareadss
The Sons of Thestian by M.E. Vaughan
2.0
Edit: 2.5 stars
Okay so this plot was actually really boring to me and seemed quite underdeveloped. I really enjoyed majority of this book but the parts that were supposed to drive forward the plot were just not well done or particularly interesting to me. I had a lot of fun with these characters though. One more gripe: the author sells this story like it’s some lgbt fantasy on her tumblr and it’s not....at like the 50% mark the characters go to a liberal town where gay marriage is legal and that was cool, also one of the main characters is supposed to be bi, but that was mostly treated like a joke and was more so subtext. It wasn’t bad and I’d recommend it if you’re interested. It just didn’t meet my expectations sadly.
Poor world building
Misleading marketing
Weak plot
Villains weren’t interesting
Protagonists were..... eh I only liked rufus
