A review by jennifilm
Aphrodite Unbound by Kate Healey
5.0
After loving the Shattering and chairing a panel with Karen, I dove so quickly into this book. I haven't read a lot of romance, so didn't know how much I would enjoy it (spoiler: SO much) but this might be the fastest I've read something in SO long.
Quick rundown of things I really loved:
- great queer characters! An uncompromising pansexual main!
- fantastic fun writing! So so much an enjoyable read!
- feeling SO invested in this relationship that even when I knew they would end up together, there were moments where I felt their hurt SO bad
- the other plots - drama! Corporate intrigue! Social justice! Taking down the man!
- feeling so so safe in Kate Healey's hands, knowing that I didn't have to steel myself for any crappy tropes, and that conflict or mistakes and personal growth would be handled so well
Brb going to buy everything else I can.
