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.

Follow the Lady by Seanan McGuire (Incryptid, #9.2)

This novella is included with most editions of IMAGINARY NUMBERS.

TITLE: Follow the Lady
AUTHOR: Seanan McGuire
PUBLISHER: Daw Books
YEAR: 2020
LENGTH: 55 pages
AGE: Adult
GENRE: Fantasy
RECOMMENDED: Highly

Queer Rep Summary: No canon queer rep.

FOLLOW THE LADY is very focused on connecting together various bits of backstory in an interesting setting. It works well in combination with IMAGINARY NUMBERS since my main question after that book was "how did Antimony get home?" and this is a very important piece of that journey. Seeing the guys' reactions to Alice was a treat, and I love the bar. 

CW for death (backstory).
