This is my third FT Lukens book thus far, and I'm absolutely loving their writing style. It's quick, a bit stream of consciousness, and irreverent while still carrying a lot of heart.
The characters here are easy to love (if a bit tropey - very classic D&D party-vibes, which I personally love as a D&D nerd), as are all the dynamics and interconnections amongst them. Also, basically everyone is bi until proven otherwise. And I don't think anyone is ever proven otherwise?
Arek and Matt's romance was sweet and frustrating and full of delicious tension. It's the miscommunication trope done right, because it's not simply the characters refusing to talk about their feelings/issues. They both try to communicate, but each of them interprets things wildly differently, to the point that they're basically having two separate conversations. Also, they're childhood friends-to-lovers, and I'm a sucker for friends-to-lovers romance.
