the magic system is very confusing, I dont like the approach of slapping a glossary in the start of the book and just going in..
I dont understand how this is supposed to be a romance, no one wants to be in the relationship lol

Real conflicted on this one tbh. Hadn’t read any of the others in the universe so wasn’t believing of the stakes. Gotta a little bored by all the web stuff bc timeline manipulation isn’t a power I particularly enjoy in media. I care about Gina but there’s so much manipulation and stuff I dunno how to feel about the future
I had high hopes for this book but was so confused as I was reading. The character motivations were incredibly mixed up and it made it impossible to know why anyone was doing anything. I tried to push past it but found that I got more confused the farther I went.
I hate when a book gives you a promising premise that draws you in, has two of your favorite genres (dark and omegaverse), and makes you extremely excited that once you have the book in hand, you just cannot wait to read it. I thought that. I had so much hope for this book but I ended up hating it. I hated that the plot stood at a standstill while to female leads just runs around trying to avoid the Alpha who is out for her.
There was nothing about this story that felt memorable about this book. The female lead, not only does not have any character growth, but all she does is "I'm An OmEgA bUt I dOn'T wAnT tHe MaLe LeAd" so she just runs around to avoid him.
I mean, this is all she has done throughout the damn story. She doesn't grow. She doesn't do anything worthy of making her a character that would stand out against the many Omegaverse characters out there that have the substance that makes them worthy of reading.
I tried pushing myself to finish this book, but I ended up skimming half of the book I had read before I put it down and decided it was not worth the finish. I don't see myself finishing up this series. It is sad because I would like to know how it ends, but I don't that it worth the torture.

Final Thought:
I mean, if you like your female character running all the time through the book and there being no plot that moves forward, then this book is something you might enjoy. If you don't, then avoid this book all together.
So so good!
The book is hot and the story is amazing. Its a different take on alpha and omega dynamic but one that will rapidly drag you under. Can't wait for the next book to come out!

First, the front cover of this book is absolutely stunning like real eye-catching love it, these books have such pretty faces.
I have previously read a collaboration from this author which I enjoyed but this was actually my first solo read by her.
So this was well written and imaginative.
It’s set in the same world as elemental fae academy and midnight fae academy and is a universe created by two separate authors.
So, unfortunately, I initially struggled to connect and because of this, the first half was slightly a slog for me.
It definitely did pick up in the second half which I did prefer.
I think the issue for me here was this was rather slow initially add in how confused I was at the world dynamics and many rules (there seemed to be a lot) and I was left slightly bemused and my brain working overtime.
Once I got my head around it all I was able to settle in easier and it all flowed better for me.
I also wasn’t a fan of all the running Gina did I was confused as to the why of it all, there just didn’t seem a point to her flight.
Also, Seif and Axel had limited redeeming quality’s if any and I wasn’t a fan of the natural hierarchy within the mate circle in regards to Zeke and Rowan.
That aside this was very well written and my above points are mostly plot dislikes so it’s more an individual preference than anything fundamentally wrong.
I did especially like the dub-con slant this had and it wasn’t the darkness here that bothered me I actually loved that part of this a lot.
Also, be aware this is dark reverse harem omegaverse with M/M as well as M/M/F and M/F/M I didn’t find it especially dark myself but it will all depend on your own barometer really.
By the time this finished, I was on board and do want to know what is coming next.
Seif did start to grow on me and we got brief glimpses of who he could be rather than how he’s behaved so far.
There are obviously reasons for his current behaviour that completely disregard his alpha status.
In regards to the betas themselves I disliked Axel immensely so he’s got some work ahead winning me over but Zeke and Rowan are such complete sweeties.
Gina well I’m not really sure about her I do find her slightly annoying and overly difficult.
I think this first book concentrated so much on her escaping her destiny we haven’t really got to delve that deep into her character and who she actually is beyond the superficial.
I especially liked how the omegaverse aspects of this were unique and imaginative.
Spun in a way that was so different and unusual.
So yeh equal pro’s and con’s from me.
It will be interesting to see how this progresses forward.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of fortune fae academy book one.

terrible, if i have to read the word slick one more time it’ll be one time too many. the only enjoyable part was when axel and seif were being chased and attacked by possessed dust creatures but even that sucked because a random person died because he was trying to help them
