Series Review: The Suitable 'Verse by R. Cooper

Greetings and welcome to Reviews That Burn: Series Reviews, part of Books That Burn. Series Reviews discuss at least three books in a series and cover the overarching themes and development of the story across several books. Full Audio Here Powerful noble families known as the beat-of-fours, answerable only to a ruler and the mysterious, godlike fae, scheme and squabble amongst themselves, and go to war for the chance to put one of their own on the throne. But the fae might be pulling more strings than the nobles realize and they definitely have their favorites. A series of love stories loosely centered around the political crisis that led to the current ruler, featuring oblivious librarians, crafty though loving kings, an innocent half-fae noble, a legendary outlaw turned conqueror, worried warriors, clever guards, and an infamous beauty.

Clear Your Shit: Don't Go Alone (Groups)

With a slightly heavier bag and a handful of jerky to munch, I set off down the road to the next down, figuring I'd be mostly alone while traveling. I'd finished The Art of Saving The World by Corinne Duyvis and gotten partway into reading Reverie by Ryan La Sala when I was startled to see a figure under a tree as I passed. Their long blonde hair was hanging past the side of their face as they read a book with a bunch of brightly colored circles on the front. I could see they had a long tattoo of a winged dragon winding up their left arm with the head resting on their collarbone. A closed copy of a black book with a drawing of a deer rested on the grass beside them. 

"Hail and well met!", I called out.

They looked up, startled. "Are you a hoopy frood?" 

I nodded, "Usually yes, but today I don't know where my towel is."

Introductions passed pleasantly, and now I was joined on my quest by Heather (she/her), currently reading The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams after having finished The Scapegracers by Hannah Clarke. Our noses in our books, we continued down the road in companionable silence. 

Go here to read the whole story.
