๐ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐: So here I am one day, scrolling Instagram, when I come across this character art of this giant, thicc man. And I go to find out more information, and I find out HEโS AN ORCA.
I picked up this book - the third in a series I havenโt read, by an author I donโt know - and couldnโt put it down. It was so much fun, and such a unique story, which I donโt find so often anymore.
The setting was unique and detailed, but the world building was well done enough that I could follow along without confusion. And the plot itself was paced really well.
But what I really loved were the characters. Aegir was a resistance spy who could shift at will, and had lost a bit of his true self by always being undercover. Elspeth was recovering from trauma. They both have incredible banter and connection, and the undercurrent of not knowing what is real or what is the bond. I loved that they were both so earnest and careful with one another. In a story that had tension and twists, the romance was truly cozy and I LOVED that. I laughed and swooned accordingly.
I canโt wait to read more in this universeโฆ. But may I recommend starting by checking out the art? Word has it, you wonโt be able to resist.
