A Taste of Honey - Kai Ashante Wilson

[keerawa]

FANDOM NAME: A Taste of Honey - Kai Ashante Wilson

WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: This award-winning novella is a canonically m/m romance set in a fascinating world that straddles the line between fantasy and science fiction. It's an emotional roller-coaster, with an innocent young man forced to choose between following his heart and following the dictates of his family, culture, and conscience. I laughed, gasped, cried actual tears, and was left, in the end, with a sense of deep satisfaction. Try it!

WHERE CAN I FIND IT?: Your local library, bookstore, or purchase an e-book.

Oh! Does this actually feature POC as protagonists?!

Re: A Taste of Honey - Kai Ashante Wilson

Yes indeed! Aqib, the protagonist, is a POC, and the story is entirely set in his homeland. Kai Ashante Wilson's use of dialect here is fabulous, and he does a great job of showing us the contrast between Aqib's culture and that of the proud foreign soldier he finds himself attracted to.

Welp, that's definitely going on the reading list! Now I just have to see if I can find and finish it before sign-ups.
