Why read it?
1 author picked Heretic Behaviour as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book ticked all the boxes for me.
It’s well written (by a fellow Australian author!), has a strong female protagonist, a genuine slow-burn attraction, and is set in a world with a religious system and accompanying bigotry that feels all too real. I love that Mila’s strength is in her resilience and that she’s very much a product of the world in which she exists.
As for the romance, the slow-build attraction between her and Culis is genuinely believable in the context of both characters’ story arcs. And let me just say that E.C. Glynn knows how to tease!
From Paula's list on fantasy books with slow-burn romance and rich world building.
