Sing for the Coming of the Longest Night by Iona Datt Sharma, Katherine Fabian
4.0
wThis is probably the first time I've seen a wholesome portrayal of a polyamorous relationship in literature. I read one other before that really felt imbalanced and exploitative so this one felt more real, more genuine and honest about the feelings that come with sharing love between more than just two people. We love to see it!
I'll never be in a relationship like that, but I really can empathize and revel in the care and anxiety that revolves around this. It's really comforting and lovely to see love being expressed so sincerely and openly. The honesty and communication between each partner kind of makes me wish I could see this honesty in every relationships. I really loved seeing the growth that happens between the characters and delighted when Nat and Layla had to pretend to like each other in order to save their boyfriend.
There is so much representation in this story and all of it felt happy and joyful. We need more stories that celebrate queer joy.
