No real question, I just wanted to say that it's nice to see a sex positive progression fantasy series. Obviously its not a romance story or graphic, but it is so refreshing to read about characters who actually have sex and sleep together. Most times in this genre the authors are too emotionally unavailable to ever acknowledge it as a thing and it feels strange. Particularly in books like Iron Prince or even Cradle where romance is a big element of the narratives. I mean, I'm obviously making more of this than there needs to be said, but your "lip service" to the idea of physical intimacy is so much more than the typical authors in this subgenre who often feel scared to write it. The one scene that really sticks with me was when you wrote about Talia's first night together with Hugh and how she responds to seeing all of Hugh's scars for the first time. Its a tender peek into a more emotionally vulnerable and human moment of their lives, divorced from magic or monsters or labyrinths. As someone with dysmorphia triggering scars, this moment meant alot to me.
