Letās talk about what The Tarot Sequence Book Series has so far (so far equaling me only having read the first book):
1. A snarky, hilarious main character who is trying his best years after his entire family was slaughtered when his Court (courts based on Tarot Cards) was over thrown and spending several hours traumatically kidnapped & tortured by them.
2. A sarcastic and prickly (and hot) best friend bodyguard who is not! a! love interest! (Love Interest comes up in a second, hold up.) This book portrays the relationship between Rune and Brand as incredibly intimate, unembarrassedly loving, and completely platonic. A case of lovely PLATONIC soul mates. A concept!
3. A world built so fascinatingly, that has me- a notoriously picky fantasy reader because all world-buildings are inevitably the sameā sketching doodles in my mind. The descriptions!! (buildings plucked from every continent, interdimensional subway stops! all types of creatures roaming around on their way to work lolol)
4. A Genuinely Kind love interest who is flirty and devious, but absolute respects boundaries once he realizes the ins and outs of the MCās past. Also very respectful of the MC and Best Friend characterās friendship. Also my god Addam literally spends his entire life and wealth trying to make the world a better place and he dances in his room in order to calm himself but also he can wield some strong AF magic LOL.
5. A plethora of supporting characters that add depth to the story and other characters. A sullen teenager whoās been uncharacteristically dumped on the MCās doorstep (and whoās own backstory Iām pretty sure we got in the second book so tbd on that.) Addamās brother who is a seer and a little bit crazy but loves his brother so much. Oh and a sort of Magnus Bane type supporting character that I dig.
6. Some creepy villains both visually and in what they do.
7. A murder mystery revenge story that has no business being the perfect blend of action, magic, angst, and humor. Its a serious stories dealing with serious issues (Runeās traumas are faced head on throughout the story), but also there is so much light and good and funny.
8. An author is incredibly active in listening to his fans feedback, providing bits of fun and stories during this quarantine.Ā
In conclusion, please donāt make me be the only one to read this book, people!! Come on!!!
