Our Vicious Oaths was such a good read! Immediately pre-ordered the physical copy. It was packed with world-building, action, delicious spice, character development, and strong women. I loved the power dynamic between Kadeesha and Malachi and their evolution throughout the book. I was simultaneously kicking my feet and shaking my head in so many scenes. I loved that while their physical relationship is at the forefront of the plot for much of the book, it was balanced well with fae politics, battles, magic, and more! I also loved the references back to black culture like grilles and braids/hairstyles. 

The only thing I would've changed is to have the character glossary at the front of the book by the map. I didn't even know it was hidden in the back until I was done! 

I told myself I needed to start supporting more black authors and I'm SO grateful I had the chance to read this one. I will be recommending this one to all my romantasy reader friends!
