hazel17's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 18%

Everything was going swimmingly and then when you think we’re through the major exposition, omegaverse pops up out of nowhere. Guess that’s what I get for going in blind. Why do all of that setup if you’re going to just use these tropes and mechanics. Very old skool abo mechanics too, with the scent narcotics and all that which was jarring.

This is how the first half of this book goes:

Mate/King tries to be gentle and caring..
FMC: I am nobody.
A nice dress?
FMC: violently rejects it and demands a maid's smock....
Mate tries to find her family
FMC: I am leaving and going it alone. Proceeds to gets captured and beaten to a pulp
FMC: nose is constantly in the air for someone who is a nobody
Mate keeps trying to win her over
FMC: I am nobody.
Mate tells her of the dangers of leaving
FMC: Leaves again because she is a dumb bitch
Mate treats her with kindness and care
FMC: he is the enemy

It was painful to read.
