After reading Three Queens, I had a lot of questions, but one stood out as most important: how soon could I get my hands on book four?
If you read book one and you’re on the fence about book two, what are you waiting for?
If I had to sum up this book in one sentence, it would be “Ancient powerful vampire with untold resources turns into a puddle for his little mortal.” There’s more to it than that, but I stand by it.
From Goodreads: “Sallot Leon is a thief, and a good one at that. But gender fluid Sal wants nothing more than to escape the drudgery of life as a highway robber and get closer to the upper-class—and the nobles who destroyed their home.”
My introduction to the fae reverse harem genre was not perfect, but entertaining.
This story is a sweet, adorable Christmas story, with well-established characters and some room for technical improvements.
Hot take: this is a great book.
