I was provided an ARC via NetGalley to offer an unbiased review. This book is scheduled for release on 28 Nov 2023. If you like romantic fantasy, you should just plan to take the day off work.

A not-so-fun-fact about me: I don't read blurbs or summaries about books before I read them. When I say I had no idea what this book was about when I requested it through NG, I'm not even exaggerating. Horny dragon book? That's what I got, and boy howdy, did it deliver. And it was a queer horny dragon book? Even 👏 better 👏!!

Anytime authors are doing worldbuilding, especially in fantasy, there is a learning curve where the reader needs to have space to take it all in. My favorite version of this is where the author starts in the middle of the action, and assumes the reader is smart enough to pick up and roll with it using context clues. Even though I wasn't 100% sure what was happening at the beginning, they laid the bread crumbs just enough to get me through a 400 page book in 2 days. 

I'm not going to compare this book to anything else out there, but if you enjoy unique stories with a diverse cast of characters and some pretty spicy on-page sex scenes, you will want to add this to your TBR. I'm already pumped about the next book in this world!

I was provided an ARC through NetGalley.

Chasm, the 2nd book in the Glacian Trilogy, continues to deliver an outstanding story in a unique world with life and death stakes. It is always difficult to review a book in the middle of a trilogy without inadvertently spoiling anything because it is usually filled with information that gives too much info from book 1 and lays the groundwork for the finale that is book 3. Suffice it to say that the issues presented as a cliffhanger in book 1 get resolved, and the freight train heading for a calamitous ending in the last of the trilogy has rail that has been well-lain. I can't believe we have to wait another year for the conclusion. Worth it!
