This high fantasy, gothic vampire romance checked all the usual boxes, but the central polyamorous relationship was everything to me! I loved following Remy as he worked through complicated feelings for BOTH Xiaodan and Zidan, coming to terms with being attracted to a man for the first time, gradually overcoming his internalized shame and guilt to ultimately receive love, care, and pleasure. The scene in the forest, I meannnnn?? Five stars just for the sex, honestly. There’s not nearly enough good queer polyam fantasy and I loved slutty poly baby Remy so much. The MFM polycule is really well done, not sensationalized or hetero-centric as is too often the case. Each of their dynamics was really thoughtfully developed and communication was good. Xiaodan is so patient and nurturing 😭 meanwhile stoic Zidan secretly cares just as much ❤️‍🔥. Lots of action scenes too which typically is not for me but the pace was good and I really enjoyed it!
