I had to submit a request to my library, so hopefully they’ll carry it soon. I feel like this was a good one to kick off Pride month! LMK what you think of it!
I read this book this past week and it's been just as good as I expected since I heard about it! I loved this characters so much! And I agree with you, the book is way more about their relationships with each other than the fantasy plot. If you have any other recommendations of fantasy books with polyamorous relationships/throuple I would love to know! Or other genres would be fine too. This book looks stunning!! Unfortunately they aren't shipping it to my country yet :(
Have you read the Ravenhood trilogy by Kate Stewart? Book 1 is Flock, 2 is Exodus, 3 is Finish Line. It is not fantasy, but I love that trilogy so much. If you have not heard anything about it, do NOT look it up. Go into it completely blind! 🖤
I'm curious but very hesitant to read any of her books again as I've read Dowry of Blood and Hated it with every fiber of my being (except the atmosphere). The only thing that pushed me through it was hoping Van Helsing would appear and kill all the vampires.
Oof-I loved Dowry so much! I’m so sorry it was a hate-read for you lol. I will say that I was pretty disappointed by An Education in Malice. Its premise had so much potential, but then the book ended up being really tame. I expected more blood and violence and taboo, and it didn’t deliver. My experience of it sounds similar to your experience with Dowry. Evocation I enjoyed as a character-driven story with simpler writing and an urban fantasy setting. I’ll definitely be picking up the sequel.
@SandrasLibrary education is described as Dark academia right? I'm sorry you didn't like that book. And the thing is I wanted to love dowry but I just found all the characters so boring.
@@queenvictoria4237 yes-and it could’ve been so delicious! I’m sorry you didn’t like Dowry! She has Savage Blooms coming out next year, so I plan to give that a shot
@@queenvictoria4237 this is what she’s said about it: SAVAGE BLOOMS is WUTHERING HEIGHTS meets THE CRUEL PRINCE. It’s polyamorous, it’s kinky, it’s drenched in faery folklore, and it kickstarts a trilogy! Adam has been in love with his best friend Nicola since college, but the closest he can come to admitting his feelings is inviting her to travel with him to Scotland in search of a legendary cave from his grandfather’s bedtime stories. When a storm washes out the road, Adam and Nicola find themselves at the mercy of Eileen, an eccentric aristocrat, and Finley, her brooding groundskeeper. The Americans quickly get more than they bargained for as they become entangled in Eileen and Finley’s world of mind games, kink, and ancient enchantment. I’m intrigued!
Omg. Yes. I felt the same way. The characterization was on point and I loved how the prose are sparingly purple. I was just caught up in them.
Totally agree on the prose! I was so engrossed in their relationship with one another-the family curse and society drama was a bonus!
I just picked this up from the library the other day. Can't wait to get into it.
