I don't understand why authors feel the need to include flashbacks in thier works. It's very difficult to get it right and this work is not one of them.
This work has some serious issues with pacing and transition into the flashback. Feels very forced.
Since the plot is so good, and author took the time to write such detailed world building, it would have been much better if the story had been told in chronological order.
The plot about politics is very rare in BL. Really loving it so far. The character development of Soleite due to Brian is well written. They really share a very strong bond. Looking forward to the rest of the story.
Since both the dragons are so obsessed with Brian, they just see Brian when they see Ian. Ian seems to be a replacement for Brian at this point. Even with the same soul, they are different people. Their life experiences and personalities are different. So, not sure how that's going to be resolved. Hope, Ian gets away from both the dragons and lives a fulfilling life elsewhere.
