Polyamorous Rep in this YA Duology

I absolutely loved finally getting to finish HE Edgemon’s duology! The magic and world building is unique and engaging and the way they handle nonmonogamy is addressing but not apologizing for it and not making it central to the book’s plot, but instead to deepen our understanding of the characters. I plan on making a full video about this series soon, but didn’t want to wait to tell y’all to check this series out :) it’s definitely a favorite #PolyamoryInMedia pick! #nowreading

Also, shout out to Chicago Public Library. I will probably add these to my personal library, but they make it easy to check out all the books I tear through looking for #polyamoryrepresentation and it’s been so much easier to check things out with my library having such a huge physical and virtual collection! 🥰

... Read moreThe exploration of polyamory in literature, especially within young adult (YA) fiction, is an increasingly important topic as readers seek authenticity in storytelling. HE Edgemon’s duology excels in this respect by presenting nonmonogamous relationships in a thoughtful way. The series is set in an imaginative world where magic intertwines with the lives of its characters. This blend of fantasy and personal relationships invites readers to reflect on the nuances of love and connection. Moreover, the representation of polyamory can inspire discussions about diverse relationship dynamics, which resonate with many audiences. This representation is not presented as a plot device but woven into the fabric of character development, allowing for a richer narrative experience. Readers can appreciate the complexities of these relationships in a way that feels genuine, setting a positive standard for future YA literature. For those interested in a deeper understanding of nontraditional relationship structures in media, this duology serves as a significant reference point. Libraries, like the Chicago Public Library, play an essential role in providing access to such literature, enabling readers to discover works that challenge conventional norms and broaden their perspectives. The growing availability of these narratives in both physical and digital collections can further stimulate interest and understanding of polyamory in contemporary storytelling.

The quotation marks around “trying” exist for a reason: many people think they can just wing it and call it polyamory. Nope. Doing that isn’t “trying”—it’s likely hurting someone and giving poly a bad rep. So, don’t break hearts. Do the research. Learn, listen, and then, maybe, you’ll be ready t

The first slide of an article explaining that healthy non-monogamy is about how people relate, not just having multiple partners. It shows a blurred figure walking past a painting in a museum.
A slide from an article on healthy non-monogamy, discussing how intimacy is built on emotional safety and nervous system safety, allowing for vulnerability and respect.
Healthy non-monogamy isn’t just about who you love — it’s about how you love.🌱 It asks us to unlearn old relationship scripts, regulate our emotions, and build intimacy through consent, clear communication, and choice. It also means developing skills like boundaries, repair, and self-trust.💖

It can be tough to admit, but feelings like jealousy in polyamory don’t just happen because someone else “made” you feel that way. These emotions come from within, triggered by something specific. A good first step is to ask yourself: What exactly sparked this jealousy or other negative feelings? U
