Gay prince novel
Once in a cobalt moon, if you’re lucky, a manual hits all the right notes: you pick it up, immediately dive profound into its planet, fall hard for its characters, and don’t look help. For me, Casey McQuiston’s debut novel Red, White & Royal Blue was exactly that. I’ll never forget the day that I forgot to pack a book for a short coach ride and picked it up on a whim in DC’s Union Station. Settling into my seat for the next hour, I cracked open the bright pink paperback and was adv smiling at McQuiston’s cheeky dedication “for the weirdos & the dreamers.” I was instantly smitten with the enemies-to-lovers (a trope that was totally unused to me then, but that is now my bread and butter) story of Britain’s Prince Henry and Alex, the son of the first female President of the United States.

Ashoka is a pacifist prince, the youngest son of a greedy emperor. Shakti is a witch who, despite expectations of peace has learned to fight. When the Emperor kills Shaktis aunt and village, she decides to seek revenge by cursing the Emperor. But her actions own consequences, and it sends her on a journey and into contact with Prince Ashoka. Neither of them expects the political turmoil and violence that follows.
So, unlike a lot of fantasy you notice from me, this one isnt very romancey. It is queer though and features a queer-norm society which we love to see. Ashoka is clearly gay and there was a line that maybe suggested that Shakti could be aro? But Im not certain of that.
