Book Review: Prince Yorick the Bride by Katie Oslow (erotic fantasy, transgender)

Title
Prince Yorick the Bride
Author: Katie Oslow
Publication Date: July 15, 2022
Genres: Erotic Fantasy
Protagonist Gender: Male/Female

I've had my eyes on Katie Oslow's books for a while now, but haven't had the opportunity to give her a read until now. Prince Yorick the Bride was rather different from what I expected, but in a good way.

This is a fantasy story first, a romance second, and a work of erotica third. It's a story with a well-developed protagonist, a large cast of supporting characters, and relationship dynamics (between family, friends, lovers, allies, and enemies) that feel realistic. It's also a solid story with a conflict-driven plot, twists, and betrayals. 

Oh, and there's a magical gender-swap, which is precisely what I came for!

Oslow does a wonderful job of balancing the various elements of the story, allowing it to be erotic at its brightest and coldly sexual at its darkest. The transformation is well done, nicely detailed, and the feminine awakening is natural, occurring through the story as opposed to artificial, self-indulgent self-examination. Prince or bride, I felt for Yorick, and was fully invested in seeing them pursue justice.

This was a wonderfully well-written, well-plotted delight.
