First of all, I want to mention a marketing issue. The book is supposed to feature over 60 black & white illustrations by Litarnes, but I bought the e-book and there was NO ILLUSTRATION. They're only in the physical copies, supposedly "due to formatting constraints", though I've had illustrated e-books before. However, you can find free colour illustrations on the website and even more on Instagram.
The story itself is stunning. The author is clearly very clever and trusts their readers to keep up with the worldbuilding. There's a glossary and a cast list that's a nice help at the start of the book.
The major m/m got me hooked. I'm always partial to romances involving telepathy/empathy. Thanks for the rec to![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
