pickA political drama set during the Sui dynasty with a slow burn romance featuring espionage, hate flirting, and political machinations.
It is slow to start and there is a lot of information which can be difficult. I read up a bit because I was getting lost with what kingdom was where and why they didn't like or did like the Sui dynasty (this helped a lot).

More books should have embellishments
In response to the UK Supreme Court's ruling today against the rights of trans people to exist, I've written the following to my MP (see in comments). I'd ask British Littens of good conscience to write to their own MP in support of our trans fellow citizens.

I finished THE GOLDEN RAVEN tonight and I have MANY EMOTIONS about Jean‘s healing journey and also how great it is when there‘s a bit with a dog.
Now begins the wait for the next book.
Nora Sakavic‘s new book dropped the very day I stopped regularly checking for it! Good thing Kobo sends out reminders when they know you‘re waiting on series additions.
Now I know what I‘m doing with the rest of my reading month. I bought THE GOLDEN RAVEN as soon as I got the email this morning, formally bailed on the poorly-written Shakespearean fantasy I tried last night, and dove in at lunch.
pickPicked this up after a patron recommended it. Definitely get some Supernatural vibes with the angels and the demons, but there‘s a lot more religion and politics of churches in here. The world is fascinating and I‘m looking forward to learning more! Plus, you know, I‘m a sucker for an epic fight scene.
I read the first 26% of THE SUNSHINE COURT earlier, then made myself put it down so it didn‘t take over my whole evening. I think it‘s gonna wreck me and I‘m gonna thank it for doing so.
pickIndie author Ben Alderson known for his spicy M/M romance finally gets a trad imprint deal! In his universe, a civil war brews between humans and the Fey leading to a halfling Robin Vale to be thrust in a realm of magic, government plotting, and political intrigue. Furthering this complication is his growing attraction to his Fey bodyguard Erix who helps realize his true heritage in this queer romantasy of A Court of Thorn and Roses.
I cannot believe the Burbank Chuck E. Cheese is in this book #FullMunch
I really liked the two main characters. They were both assholes and I'm glad they found each other so they won't subject themselves on anyone else.
