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.

Queer Rep Summary: Bi/Pan Main Character(s), Ace/Aro Main Character(s).

This was a little about Comic-Con and a lot about Antimony's relationship with Verity. It was nice to see them together for more than a brief scene, even if most of it was tense with Antimony reacting to the idea of Verity as much as the actual person.

CW for death (backstory).

TW for Harry Potter mention.
