loved the art for bast

i truly don't know what the plot was but yay dragons. fuck the patriarchy

When the World is Free is a novel following Sylvia after her lover, Nicky, dies in battle. She marries his gay friend, John, as a way to manage societal expectations when she learns of her pregnancy. However, everything becomes complicated when Nicky turns up 7 months later, very alive. 

This book was so cute and good. I love the way it depicted the grief process and how Nicky handled PTSD. The romance aspect was just so wholesome after the main conflicts were ironed out. I highly recommend this to queer readers who need a dose of joy in their lives. Especially if you don't have a very accepting family. 4.5/5 stars. 

Thank you to Mic Bernardi for providing me with a free ARC of this book. All opinions expressed are my own. 

god why was this so good. there are a couple of plot lines that fizzled into nothingness and i'm hoping they pick up again (shallan's subplot as a sneaky person)

this was so beautiful. i relate so hard as a queer poc. people don't really question why there are so few brown queer people that are out to everyone.

the alpha simply was so bad about consent even though it seemed like he was trying

agh silena hit too hard again

oh my god this is so confusing and a struggle to read, i need to be in a better mindset to read this

i feel like the author didn't know how to write older people

i really wasn't a fan of the relationship
