kahime's review against another edition

I absolutely loved MGMF and was SO excited when I saw news of Rourke's pov!
Sadly, I felt very confused on parts as the story would sometimes just jump back and forth between moments he interacted with her at the Farm, and then back to him speaking to someone, and then suddenly he's just at home and he's actually just been thinking about all of this the whole time. The back and forth happened so often at times I didn't know where he was or who he was speaking to.
Some chapters seemed to start halfway through a date/dinner, and I’d have to remember what was going on in MGMF at the time for it to make sense. Some parts were glossed over (The death of a family member) and I know it’s HIS pov, but it was a super important person in Violet’s life so it felt odd to just breeze over - Especially since this leads to the start of their relationship.
It also seemed unedited or rushed as there was quite a few mistakes grammar wise, and a LOT of repetition going on. There was talks of never seeing her again, and it mentioned this several times in a few paragraphs, like this:
“He could simply click that little red X on the app and be guaranteed that he never needed to see her again.”
(Next paragraph)
“The farmer made it easy to ensure she would not receive his file again,”
(Next paragraph)
“He could adjust his profile on the app so that he would never have to see her again.”
I get it. We got it; You have options to never see her again. Also, I think this was supposed to say “farm,” not “farmer.”
Also, I didn’t mind Lurielle and Khash but they felt more like the main characters as times than Violet did and I got tired of them pretty quickly.
It was nice to see how he felt each and every time he visited the farm and how he felt during each interaction with Violet. I loved seeing his panic; How he’d flounder when she spoke to him, and how he was constantly thinking and obsessing about her, just as she was him. I really didn’t like how 90% of his thoughts were sexual though. I wanted those soft smiles and feels from his pov. I wanted to see WHY he liked her, other than she gets him off hecka fast. Oh well.
This book was *okay*, and I still prefer MGMF

DNF. I should've read the description before starting. I loved the first one and thought this would be new characters. Nope. Same story, bad POV. I would have found a new story very interesting, but just not the same thing over again. This isn't Twilight or Divergent. Also at the beginning of the book.we get an Authors note. (This started me off negatively). In the note, the author speaks about the first books and how it "got away" from her and "became no longer" hers. How it "simultaneously became the butt of every joke and the thing everyone was trying to copy"
As someone who truly enjoyed MGMF, I felt my joy stolen a little bit by an author who wasn't happy it was read.

I really enjoyed this new POV. I read the original mgmf about a year ago so I remember some things or others I've completely forgotten, so it felt fairly fresh. I really like Rourke as a character and liked finding out more about him and Minotaur culture.
The only thing that was lacking for me is the actual buildup when he finally asked her out and how they started dating. It was kinda rushed for me and felt like he asked her out, thinking about ravishing her while trying not to/masturbate lots, and then, the end.
It's a darn shame because I was really liking it up to that point
