Q: Recommend me your favorite LGBTQ+ book - or tell me about an upcoming one you're looking forward to!. This Golden Flame is a mix of Ancient Greece/Rome with steampunk feeling automatons and rune magic in a world where the automatons are all unmovable for centuries...until Karis wakes one up. Did you know #ThisGoldenFlame has asexual representation in it? 💜 I don't see ace rep in enough books, especially fantasy, so I was excited for that aspect of this book! I appreciated that Karis mentioned more than once she never seemed to have the romantic feelings for someone that everyone else had, and that made her feel like an outsider. She is on the aroace spectrum and while I love the representation in YA literature, it also didn't go as deep as I would have liked. Truth be told, I'm fine when books don't have romance! I appreciate a good story, and I appreciate friendship between opposite genders. You can be friends with a guy without wanting to sleep with him.
