We try to get the real romantasy experience with a niche KU title, A Kiss of Iron by Clare Sager. Nadine hates the lack of detail, Lena is glad not to have to deal with lore, Kat (our heroine) is a deeply ambiguous trama queen, and Bastian (our hero) is such a gentleman we never even see his throbbing member. Throw in some sabrecats and you've got a very robust discussion about the nature of this particular subgenre, fat representation, and what on earth a Fae even is.

The sequel to A Kiss of Iron, A Touch of Poison, is out now, and Lena is very unironically going to read it. If you're interested in Kat's pirate sister, here is info on that quadrilogy.

Thanks, as always, to ⁠⁠⁠Deoxys Beats⁠⁠⁠ for our intro and outro music, "RedLips."
