2020-2021 Rainbow Awards Honorable Mention: Consorts of the Red King
Consorts of the Red King by Eden Winters
The world building in this story is fabulous, and the characters multilayered and interesting. I liked how they were flawed, yet fitted together so well. I particularly liked how Jorvik developed as a character from someone with a sheltered background to becoming the king his people needed, whatever the cost. I thought the way around that cost was nicely done. The scenes with Jorvik, Tayn, and Van together are sweet. I liked the side characters of Connell and Stone too. Although there is a relationship at the heart of the story, the plot drives it, and is wonderfully complex and political. The ending with its clever way to give all three men what and who they need was a perfect HFN, with the hint of further adventures to come.
