I don’t think I’m the target audience. I don’t mind thinly disguised erotica, but if you’re gonna have muscled (presumably hung) male fairies lounging about, you can only hope for some guy on guy action. None. Painfully straight. Alas… a guy can dream.
Our protagonist is vaguely annoying and egregiously underdeveloped. Appreciating colors in paintings is not a meaningful character trait, in my humble opinion. Besides that, a large portion of this book is giving internalized misogyny. I don’t know how else to put it.
Imagine living for a man…. Literally pathetic.
Lastly, this world’s version of a condom, “the contraceptive brew,” is the funniest thing I’ve ever read. I really don’t think it was supposed to be a joke, which is what disturbs me even more. Maybe the author was dared to put that in.
Anyway, this book is basically a porno. Not well-written, but mostly entertaining. Will probably read the sequels.
