King of Flesh and Bone by Liv Zander
2.0
I would like thank NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to listen to the audiobook of King of Flesh and Bones in exchange of my honest opinion.
Ada lives in a world full of death where, once dead, people do not rotten. Additionally, she and other women struggle with infertility and this seems to create a divide in the population. Meanwhile there is the King of Flesh and Bones that is sort of a God and acts like a necromancer, raising people from the death to work for him. Basically, he determined that Ada is his mate and they get together.
The world building was interesting and I could see the potential to develop a world in which this misogyny could play a bigger role. Additionally, I would think that the several sex scenes would benefit immensely with some good old tension. They kind of get together very soon and it felt really pointless, at least in the beginning. He wants her to love him but just do an effort after the 4th hookup even though he consider her his mate.
The romance (which supposedly is the plot of this book) was very underwhelming and the smut scenes was not hot at all.
Other than they get together nothing really happens until the last 95% of the book.
Overall, I was expecting a better tension between MCs, more of his "effort" to convince her that she was his mate, more of her struggles with this society and him being working with her in that and more sexier and less crude sex scenes.
