Well I certainly read it. Watch out for the incest vibes
This was very easily a solid “No” for me. This is short, poorly planned, and ridiculous on all accounts.
The men are nothing but pretty faces with hollow ally builds for character traits.
The FL herself is unimaginative and flat.
The society in which this is set is also poorly described. They have Tom Holland and Brad Pitt but darn, that equality thing has been so hard to pin down for hundreds of years you guys. The Institution as it’s described literally sounds like something straight out of a bad movie evil villain plot. “Aah yes, the Institution-innatore.” *speaks in Dr. Duffenshmirtz cackle* The dynamics are the same (A,B, O) but the heavy lean on politics this story uses to prop itself up isn’t delved into properly.
I have no idea if this world is 99% traditionalists with 1% neo-traditional (idk wtf to call their group aside from “Rebels”) or if it’s like America. Split down the middle so that both sides have a party, a platform, and things might have more traditional leanings in some places than other more progressive canoodling in others. (Think TX vs CA or NY vs FL.)
Have I mentioned that this version of an “omega institute” is just so buggy for me?
The concept of an O.I (Omega Institute) isn’t a foreign or far fetched idea, I’ve seen it done before with good success, and I definitely can see why they would make sense/ be necessary in this kind of world. The difference tho, with this OI and OI’s in other Omegaverse novels, is that the other novels that do this describe how broken the system is much, much better. Which of course only makes it all the more believable.
This OI isn’t one of those. The institute should be described as a solution vs something that’s just bigotry. At the very least, if that’s how the author wants to play it, then I at least want more world building to back up those clearcut instances/ trauma’s of being discriminated against as a designation. Bc from what I saw, the FL was pretty narrow minded herself and seemed to view everything as if through a keyhole.
The Senator blocking the bill?
“He’s the devil! He probably mistreats his Omega and is an insufferable Alpha-hole!”
The Beta she meets one night that she doesn’t bother really listening to before passing judgment? “Oh my gosh! Your going to get in so much trouble for me! Your Alpha better not hurt you! Wait! I’ll think of a backup plan to get you out bc your probably in an awful situation rn!”
At the ball when she witnesses the ML’s father straight up assaulting him before strutting out from her hiding spot after the fact, only to immediately smirk and laugh at his suffering?
Seriously. She was positively tickled witnessing her own logicked “righteousness” play out on a fully grown, independent, adult person who was being manhandled and humiliated so aggressively by their own father right in front of her. This RIVETING hero/ holier-than-thou complex she has is sooooooo on brand for being the leader of such a liberal movement. What an understanding and compassionate Omega she is.

Nice book and cute dynamic between the characters. I like it. Kind of hard to get into it at the beginning but then it’s nice, sometimes was kind of cringey but you can keep reading it. Will continue with the third book but don’t know what to expect.

This story is about Rebel and her finding her pack by accident within the enemy (or at least the enemy). This story could have been longer and I would have liked to see that.

I did enjoy reading this story, and found myself somewhat shocked at certain parts. I rated this book how I did due to the book feeling rushed and not well thought-out.
The characters feel very shallow to me. I want to know more of Leo’s background, more of Falcon’s stance on his politics since he’s essentially a spy like Rebel. I just wanted more in-depth characters than what I got. The ending also felt very rushed. Almost out of the blue. While some small conflicts were avoided & solved, the big one (the resistance) is still unresolved. It may be an overarching theme in the series, but I did not enjoy the story enough to continue the series. It had mad potential, but not enough for me to continue.

I've been on an omegaverse kick recently. I have to say that this book was a good decision to start reading and keep my interest going. The plot and characters were really good. Most of the spicy scenes are glossed over, but I still enjoyed the story.
