bi MC, no romance

read an arc from netgalley (but it’s since released)

#calling of light #forest of souls #lori m. lee #aroaessidhe 2024 reads #no romance #A solid end to the trilogy! I did find that it solved everything quite quickly #. - i thought i was maybe approaching half way then checked and it was 80% lol... I think that’s just it being YA #It’s more wrapping up the plot from the previous two books than anything else. I definitely had forgotten the intricacies of the politics a #- but the focus of this series is definitely on the MC’s journey and her relationships with others anyway.#Really all I wanted for this book was for it to continue to have no romance! So I am satisfied in that regard!#endlessly amused over reviews (for all the books) referring to the two dudes as the love interests. for who?#just bc they’re men of a similar age to the MC????#I thought the amount of times they were referred to pointedly as Friend and Family was overdone but apparently not djfghfd #also - there's a light implication that the two dudes would marry each OTHER for political reasons.#(though probably not actually bc heirs etc dfghkjfdgh) (I'm very amused about it all anyway.)#I did switch from the arc to the finished copy when it showed up available on libby
