smuttymcbookface's review against another edition
This felt poorly executed. The dialogue was stale and robotic, purposefully pushing boundaries that shouldn't be pushed. It took the concept of "women are from Venus and men are from Mars" so literally, purporting stereotypes to the extreme for both genders in a ridiculous manner that it was quite frankly sexist.
Also, there was something discomfiting in the way she described people with darker skin, and it definitely felt like diversity just for the sake of it when skin colour is presumed to be white unless stated otherwise.

"Bliss to me was feeling alive, and noone made me feel more alive than him."
In five days, I read the first three books of Elin Peer's Men of the North series on KU., and it has been just the palette cleanser that I had been looking for!
It was fun to take a break from overly-sciency books and escape into a futuristic world where gender roles coincided with political borders.
All three books followed a different couple with the same enemies-to-lovers trope. And even though the writing mechanics weren't polished and I would have welcomed more smut, I found myself unable to put the books down!
I'm ready to now take a break from the Men of the North, but I look forward to continuing with book 4 soon.
