I recieved an early access copy of this book! Rainsquall is about an isolated shepherd in rural Wales, tending to a slowly dwindling flock. His peace is disrupted by monsters and the arrival of three mysterious soldiers who are clearly more than they seem. Overall, I enjoyed - I was immediately endeared to the sheep, who are named after clothing and collectively referred to as the "Garments", and the mystery elements were fun as well.

Particularly at the beginning, it was sometimes hard to tell who was speaking, and to whom. I would have loved to have seen more of the relationship between the main character and the love interests and the process of falling in love, but that's definitely not a unique complaint I have with romances! I also would have loved to have seen more Welshness with the historical Welsh setting. After emphasising Folke's care for his sheep,

leaving them behind at the end felt like it undercut a lot of his character at the last moment, which was a shame.

If you're looking for m/m/m poly romance, supernatural and mystery elements, and messy characters, this one is fun!!
