Just finished part 1 (of 2) and holy shit this book is amazing and I'm crying 😭💕 As a massive fan of epic fantasy, getting to read a really good epic fantasy tale with queer love at the center of it is so fulfilling

My new favorite smut novel

If you're looking for a lesbian smut novel look no further! This shit is hot 🥵. And has decent character writing and plotting to keep it interstesting. Can't wait for the sequal audio book in a few weeks.

My thoughts on Heart of Iron

This was an enjoyable read. I was already a fan of the Tiktok series, which is why I picked this up. But I couldn't help but feel it was lacking something, though I can't quite put my finger on what, that keeps it from 5 stars.

JC's motivations for getting involved in the larger plot felt a bit thin without the (non-cannon) context of the Tiktok series. I think spending a bit more time with JC getting close to the Cafe staff might have helped sell it. Honestly all of the characters expert Violet seemed a little under developed.
