There is something about Broadbent’s writing that is just so much better than almost all romantasy I’ve read. She doesn’t fall into bog-standard tropes, and in most cases subverts them in an original or interesting way. If all romantasy was this good I’d be reading it all the time. 

I really liked that Lilith was a 30-year-old woman with her own life (science), not just a little naïve girl who needed saving by a big, strong man. I also really liked that she was sexually experienced before meeting Vale. Their first time wasn’t her first time - it was just two experienced, sex positive adults enjoying one another. 

Had some pretty nice autism rep too.
