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.

YEAR: 2018

Queer Rep Summary: No canon queer rep.

I liked getting Gillian's perspective, but most of this felt like telling a new person stuff that we've learned elsewhere about Faerie. It's fine, and I'm glad I read it, but it's probably not one that's essential if you have trouble finding it. It does answer what happened when Toby wasn't around in the main story, so that was nice. 

CW for violence, blood.
