Why read it?
1 author picked A Suitable Consort (For the King and His Husband) as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is a beautiful execution of slow burn, watching a character grow and come into his own and realize that he loves and is loved. The world-building is fantastic, and the story keeps you reading until you realize it's four in the morning and you've got a long day ahead of you. I loved the main character, his love interests, the history, and recent war that provide the setting and drive for much of what happens. It's a beautiful love story, a wonderful fantasy, a fantastic combination of both genres.
From Megan's list on The best queer SFF to get you through winter.
