===================

✶ PRE-READING ✶

I've been on a cosy fiction kick recently, and this felt like it was adjacent to that world while being a bit spicier. (It is very spicy, be prepared.) I haven't read the connected works, so some of the backstory was a bit opaque, but I followed well enough.

✶ POST-READING ✶

As I thought… I really liked the characters and the central premise - a marriage of convenience that slowly becomes something more. Unlikely as it is that all three siblings in one medieval family would be gay, I’m choosing not to question my blessings. The dialogue leans more formal than I expected, but that makes sense given that most of the cast are nobles trying very hard to behave properly while absolutely not behaving properly.

It surprised me by... How easily everyone confessed everything to each other. They're all, in varying ways, committing sins that could see them jailed, excommunicated, fined and hanged, probably in that order, but they're all very open with each other, mostly under the guise of 'I can't ask him/her to marry me without understanding this first'. It's so open it's odd, even though one of my most hated tropes is people not just talking to each other!

✦ RECOMMENDATIONS ✦

Book Recommendation: Gwen and Art are not in Love by Lex Croucher is set in a vaguely Arthurian court. The sequel is due out this year!

TV or Movie Recommendation: The Girl King, a movie about the life of Queen Christina of Sweden.

✧ VIBE CHECK ✧

A colour palette: grey stone, bright tapestries

A soundtrack: heavy on the lute, loud panicked drums

A season: spring - bright, green and full of promise

A mood: uncertain, determined to try, anxious

A scent: wet dog, wax candles and dried rushes

★ TAROT CARD PULLED ★

The Lovers. It couldn’t really be anything else. Ash, Olly, and Agnes are all standing at emotional crossroads, each choice affecting the others. This isn’t just romance - it’s about commitment, identity, and deciding what kind of life you’re brave enough to claim.

Final Thoughts

I really enjoyed this! I'll admit that I skimmed some of the spicier bits - phwaor! - but the story itself is great. There's some really effective handling of PTSD from a fourteenth century understanding, and gender issues are treated as well as possible for the time frame. As I said above I genuinely liked the characters, and I thought the idea was great. I'll be looking for the other stories in the sequence now!

They’ve always been a little too sharp for the room. Brilliant, restless, impossible to pin down. The kind of person who feels everything and pretends not to.

One night, the performance slips. Neon, sound, and someone who doesn’t quite look away. What follows is physical, strange, and harder to forget than it should be.

It ends before dawn, but the air still hums. The kind of silence that sounds like something unfinished.

Signal and Noise (ACFR #4) A story about connection and disconnection, about what happens when someone stops performing long enough to be seen.

Free to read now. For mature readers, contains explicit content.

"In a world where love is legislated, fate binds tighter than freedom." Omegas are rare. They burn with heat, draw in Alphas, and bear children. But this isn’t a story of romance—it’s one of autonomy, survival, and the quiet war against systems built to control what they call “destiny.” Even when society grants rights, it doesn’t grant kindness. This is a world where your biology writes your future—and you fight to reclaim it.
