I didn’t remember The Radiant Emperor being both this gay and this sapphic. I’m not complaining though. More than anything, can it for the first part of the duology be even defined sapphic?

voodoocactus's review of He Who Drowned the World (The Radiant Emperor, #2)

@amalia12 "so true" she typed, while listening to an #audiobook - #HeWhoDrownedTheWorld by #ShelleyParkerChan - during her time online.

Annoying thing that bookshops do:
Get the sequel to a quite popular book that they have never stocked (or at least never displayed on their shelves).

I've been meaning to pick up #SheWhoBecameTheSun for a few years now, never seen it on shelves. But they all have #HeWhoDrownedTheWorld.
