Heir of Flames by Asia Monet
I’m not sure how to rate this yet. I want to give it a 4 because I love when a black woman is loved unconditionally, treated like she’s a Queen, and given all the deserves. The romance was so sweet yet unhinged because of our MMC. Towards the middle/end I really began questioning our FMC and her decisions. For example when she excuses his verbal emotional guardedness because he was hurt in high school 🙄. Absolutely not that’s a grown man and high school was probably 2 decades ago just no. And then they reveal what happens and I agree it sucks but still hold him accountable!
Otherwise it was a good read, the second half irked me a little but I still enjoyed the process of reading this book. Can’t wait to start the second book because of Lexie and Dante.
Also, someone needs to kick that father’s 🍑 😡

Every January for the past few years I patiently wait for the next book in this series to be released and have yet to be disappointed. I’m so glad we get to see Antsy’s story through! Cora return home at the very end and Kade crying 😭 ugh bittersweet emotions and I cried with him As usual, Seanan has a way of discussing various heavy topics in ways that don’t necessarily provide a lecture or talks at you. They do it in a story telling way that makes you stop and realize ahh in our world this is referring to transphobia, in Antsy’s case child sexual abuse, and family disowning you and in another case how passing on your trauma to others is unfair and wrong. Seanan often alludes to what it is occurring/ has occurred/ would have occurred and provides warnings in the beginning without ever going into detail but enough for you to understand the impact.
I just need to finally buy the whole series. I love them so much!

Just not into it - it feels a bit immature. The dialogue between the two love interests is interesting but something is missing. I don’t care enough to find out

Wonderful story of a healthy polyamorous (triad) relationship with communication and intimacy!
