TheIntrovertedDodoBird
Icarus | K. Ancrum

Pickpick

Perfect for fans of Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, and reminiscent of Circe's trauma-infused storyline, Icarus is a poignant YA reimagining of the ancient myth, weaving together a tale of love, loss and friendship. The style of the prose is sparse yet poetic, unconventional, and incredibly raw, warming and breaking a heart in equal measure. Bursting with cinnamon-roll characters, positive masculinity...

TheIntrovertedDodoBird and beautiful platonic relationships; this novel has stolen my heart. Ancrum braids heavy material with cosy feels flawlessly. The friendships were truly beautiful and so positive; I loved how supportive they all were. The romance was divine; Icarus and Helios were fated, star-crossed lovers, and their relationship was cathartic and built on such a pillar of thrust that it was breathtaking. The representation in this novel was wonderfully... 4mo
TheIntrovertedDodoBird executed; featuring queer, intersex and disabled characters, not to mention domestic violence, substance abuse and grief. I almost wept when I finished it. Honestly, it's been a long while since I've wanted to go straight back to the beginning upon turning the final page, and I'm already wishing I could read it for the first time to experience all the nerve-wracking, cathartic thrills and sentiments. The cover is so pretty! 4mo
