Status Updates From Something Human

I’m loving the book I’m reading for book club next week and wouldn’t necessarily have started this one, but I had it in Libby and it gave me something to read while I was in with the kids tonight. The characters and the premise are enjoyable, the dialogue is a little cheese though.

the anachronisms are so oddly placed, like they'll go 20 pages without anything out of place and then one of the characters will accuse the other one of "flipping out" lmfao.

this is sweet but anachronistic in places and the first third is way too full of exposition about worldbuilding (i get that they're both recovering from a battle but this is too much). just got to the part where they're approaching the city and adares's identity is acknowledged, hoping it settles into something more character-driven now.

A bit dull.

*pumps fist* Ah yiss, love me some good narratively credible mutually shared competence in my queer romances.

Overloading on the nonfic again, so of course the solution is to add yet another book in the form of a tried and true queer historical fiction writer to the stack, no?
