A review by gonturans
The Prince of Midnight by Laura Kinsale
4.0
laura kinsale COMMITS to her concepts and i respect the hell out of it. i especially loved leigh for not seeing s.t. (the initials are explained in the book; still awkward but understandable) and immediately wanting to fix him; she has her own trauma to work through
reviewers bitching about how mean leigh is at times glossed over the things that brought her to seeking s.t. out tbh. i liked that she was allowed to be cruel in her anger and grief.
includes: pet wolves, the marquis de sade, dressage, painting, revenge, cults, fire, and having sex in roman ruins by moonlight
cw for mentions of rape/attempted rape (the first time they have sex is... consensual? in a post-2005 book i think it would definitely be changed)
