Sera Trevor is terminally curious and views the 35 book limit at her local library as a dare. She’s a little bit interested in just about everything, which is probably why she can’t pin herself to one subgenre. Her books are populated with dragons, vampire movie stars, shadow people, and internet trolls. (Not in the same book, obviously, although that would be interesting!) Her works have been nominated for several Goodreads M/M Romance Reader's Choice Awards, including Best Contemporary, Best Fantasy, and Best Debut, for which she won third prize in 2015 for her novella Consorting With Dragons.
She lives in California with her husband, two kids, and a cat the size of three cats.
Thoroughly enjoyed this audio book. Philip Alces delivers a great performance, narrating the book, told from Jasen's POV. I really enjoyed the world that Sera Trevor built for this story. It's interesting and it's different, all wrapped up into a romantasy MM romance. I think some people will take exception to this being called a romance (I've seen that with other books from other authors which I see as romance), because the focus is entirely on Lord Jasen. While we get to see his relationship develop with Rilvor, there's not much physical intimacy, as this is a story that follows Jasen falling in love, but mostly it follows how he deals with being a consort in court, all the time feeling like a fish out of water.
Jasen is a sweetheart. I love that the dragons are all up in his business. He's kind of a badass too. I love how he tries to understand people instead of just judging them or hurting them back. I love him and Rilvor together. The drama in this had me rolling my eyes a few times but this story really is adorable.
I borrowed the ebook and bought the audiobook. The narrator did a good job. He reminds me a little of Jim Dale.
