🚨Extremely taboo adult subject matter, as with the other BL Sparrow works I’ve reviewed. Explicit sexual content between two brothers, abusive parents including religious abuse, and behavior a lot of people would consider religious desecration. Absolutely not for everyone.🚨
As is also true of the other Sparrow works I’ve read, taking this novella for what it is, it’s very well written and executed. I believed the feelings and progression of the relationship between the MCs, and I felt for their situation. Believing their feelings is key for me; if something feels like I’m reading taboo porn without any authentic feelings or insight into the participants, that’s where it gets too weird to be enjoyable for me (no judgment at all if you feel otherwise, in either direction).
