#TBRPile Day 21 - tea and chocolate makes my little English soul happy ☕️ A book set in a gothic post-apocalypse Paris with demons and angels and dragons? Sounds like my kind of book! 📚
This was great! It‘s part of the Dominion of the Fallen setting featuring Fallen Angels in a ruined Paris. However, this novella takes place in a Dragon Kingdom in the Seine, after the main trilogy. In it Thuan and Asmodeus end up trying to solve a murder while visiting Thuan‘s relations over Tet.
I really loved this, from the relationship between the more diplomatic Thuan and the “murder first” Asmodeus, to the Vietnamese inspired setting.
This feels - and I say this in tones of pure delight - like Dominion of the Fallen fanfic. My favourite queer couple get embroiled in a murder investigation and dragon kingdom politics. Cue romance and stabbing as the twin Heads of House Hawthorn renew their commitment to complicating one another's lives in the best possible way. Bonus content: Thuan's terrifying torture-grandma. Fab.
