Now both Johan and Nya are travelling on the same plane to attend Thabiso and Naledi’s wedding and are about to get reacquainted in rather embarrassing circumstances. Since his friend Prince Thabiso found his missing betrothed, Johan has been taking an interest in their shy friend Nya, daughter of a disgraced former advisor to the king of Thesolo. Growing up, Johan was picked on by bullies for anything that made him stand out, including his mother’s non-royal background, and so he is keen that his sibling do nothing that might lead to the same issues Johan faced.
Since his mother’s early death, he has gone out of his way to court publicity – the more scandalous, the better – in order to keep the press from harassing his sibling. Johan is the older half-brother of the heir to the throne of a small European kingdom. This novel goes some way to tackling that concern, with its bisexual hero and the introduction of a non-binary secondary character who is pivotal to the resolution of several plot threads.
However, I’ve so far been disappointed that the stories tackling diversity beyond race and culture have so far been confined to novella length. I’ve been enjoying this series, my gripes with the plot of the second full-length novel notwithstanding.
