A review by tofugal
Heir to Thorn and Flame by Ben Alderson

Did not finish book. Stopped at 20%.
I DNF this at Chapter 9 (20%). Though I adore m/m fantasy and really wanted to love this, there was too much violence for me to continue, especially since so much of it was sexual violence. That’s something I’m not comfortable reading about. For similarly sensitive readers, I’d recommend checking the content warnings before reading.

That said, what I did read was well-written with interesting world building.

For anyone who’d prefer a lighter, cozier m/m fantasy novel minus the triggers, I recommend A Rival Most Vial: Potioneering for Love and Profit by R. K. Ashwick.

I received an advanced copy from the publisher and am voluntarily leaving this review.
