This is another excellent addition to The Court series. And like the other books, it tackles an important subject, this time the way independent performer struggle in the industry and the financial implications.
Anthony aka Barbie Summer should be at an absolute high but is at his lowest. The way he is not dealing with the situation is described brilliantly and also how the mentoring of Baby Queen Colin aka Sugar Pills and how this and the budding relationship between them is helping him finding his heels again. It shows how dreams can shatter but can be rebuild.
Colin's journey and the support and encouragement not just from Anthony but also the other queens is so lovely to read. It shows brilliantly how Drag is so much more than "dressing up", it's what they are.
I love how Charlie Novak weaves her various worlds together. We meet previous characters and small Easter Eggs are also dropped in. You don't have to have read her previous series but it hopefully will entrace you to find out about Orlando, Bitch Fit and Henry.
