2 posts | 2 read

Two enemy kingdoms are forced to work together to break a curse in this lush YA fantasy, featuring a transgender prince and a bigender dama/assassin in the lead roles. Keep your enemy closer. Cade McKenna is a transgender prince who’s doubling for his brother. Valencia Palafox is a young dama attending the future queen of Eliana. Gael Palma is the infamous boy assassin Cade has vowed to protect. Patrick McKenna is the reluctant heir to a kingdom, and the prince Gael has vowed to destroy. Cade doesn’t know that Gael and Valencia are the same person. Valencia doesn’t know that every time she thinks she’s fighting Patrick, she’s fighting Cade. And when Cade and Valencia blame each other for a devastating enchantment that takes both their families, neither of them realizes that they have far more dangerous enemies. Cowritten by married writing team Anna-Marie and Elliott McLemore, Venom & Vow is a lush and powerful YA novel about owning your power and becoming who you really are - no matter the cost.

so-so

I really liked the concept of this one, maybe if I hadn't done audio I wouldn't be as frustrated. But the dual narration was distracting bc the male narrator had a horrible reading voice! It brought me out of the story. Otherwise I loved the mythical world. The trans/bigender & disability rep was unique in the medieval setting. The magic system was intriguing. The miscommunication trope was drawn out but once the enemies became allies it picked up

so-so

I didn‘t particularly care for the vagueness at the beginning. It‘s not quite clear how the characters are related to one another. That being said, there were quite a few aspects of the story that I enjoyed. My favorite feature was the chronic pain representation, which was well-thought-out. Additionally, the transgender and bigender representation were phenomenal. I truly enjoyed the depth with which the protagonists‘ identities were explored.
