A Worthy Opponent by Katee Robert
emotional
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I’m not sure if I didn’t like this much as KRs other books because it was my first foray into the Wicked Villains series or if I just found this one sub-par in general. I feel like there was so little tension built between the characters romance and literally zero pining or space for complex feelings.
I did like Tink as a heroine but it was hard to get a sense of who she actually was as a person outside of her trauma and relationships with “territory leaders”. I also super do not understand the world building and politics of this society at all— is this modern America? Is this somewhere else? Does nobody find it strange that there’s a man named Beast?????
I did appreciate a much wider variety of sex scenes in this one— way more creative and interesting than Electric Heart and Radiant Sun for sure! I also love that everyone in this universe is bisexual, A++ for that Katee Robert!!
