The book started off a little slow and it felt like it was just trying to get to the part it needed to be at to really start the story. A little too much telling rather than showing.

Once things picked up around a third of the way through though, I was hooked. The relationship didn’t happen exactly the way I was expecting which made it really fresh and enjoyable to me. The plot developed really well, with enough foreshadowing for me to suspect things but not too much that the reveals weren’t satisfying.

I felt like the ending could have used a little bit more. One big battle at the end would have been a bit cliche so I liked the choice, I just think it could have used another chapter so it didn’t wrap up quite so quickly.

Overall, really enjoyed. The relationship was sweet and fun to read about and the setting was really cool. Loved the Queer-normative world as well!

Thank you to Orbit Redhook for the ARC of this book!
