![]() ![]() And yet there is so much lust and adoration between them all. ![]() What the four of them have isn’t really a polyamorous relationship since the addition of lovers was never consented by all parties beforehand but accepted gradually. ![]() The main theme is the abusive relationship between “you” and all the lovers where “your” love is so grand and enticing it seems to drown out all the manipulations and controlling-no friends, no going out alone, etc. ![]() Two wives and one husband for “you.” I love how casually queer everyone is in the story and all four of the main characters are m-spec (bi/pan). Divided into three parts, each part tells the history of where “you” find each new lover-Constanta, Magdalena, Alexi-over the last few centuries. The book opens with “you” (think Dracula, but never named) bleeding to death, seemingly killed by the first-person character Constanta. What is it like to be in a relationship with the same vampire for centuries?Ī Dowry of Blood read almost epistolarily, perhaps a nod to the original Dracula story.
