My goodness.
I thought I’ve read spicy books with no plot but this kind of takes the cake. The pacing of this book was so silly, which I guess makes sense know that it was originally three separate books.
But still I just really struggled to find myself attached to any characters, especially Mina. She honestly had no chance to even develops a personality, she was merely a empty narrator.
The only character I really appreciated and liked was Wolf. He was the most interesting (despite the ridiculous wolf puns throughout). He was a bit unhinged and odd but definitely the most interesting character.
Idk the plot was a bit ridiculous but it also was so underdeveloped and anticlimactic. Mina did pretty much nothing in this book. She made no decisions, had no opinions, no talents. The only thing she really ever wanted to do is have sex with one or all of the men. Yet, even when she said she loved them it felt so empty.
I think this book really solidified that while I do love enjoy fantasy romance, I do not enjoy fantasy erotica. The lack of romance in this “fantasy romance” really does place it in a whole different category.
Anyway, I did read it fairly quickly and was entertained by the spice and amused by pretty much everything else.
