Power Circuits: Polyamory in a Power Dynamic by Raven Kaldera

3.0

Highly recommended for D/s folks looking to explore polyamory. Otherwise, not so much.

I finished Power Circuits with mixed feelings. As someone who identifies primarily as polyamorous but has had kink in my relationships since before I knew what polyamory was, I was really looking forward to a book that brought the two together.

That book... isn't this one.

What this book is, is a mostly-solid practical guide for couples in D/s relationships looking to open up their relationships. It has a very heavy focus on situations where the D-type wants to open the relationship and little space is given to s-types who are drawn to polyamory for their own reasons.

For what it is, this book is very good. But the description made it seem like a book that was more balanced in it's presentation and it's focus on D/s folks opening up leaves this polyamorous & kinky person kind of disappointed.
