Ornamental by Adrian Blue

2.0

 

Ornamental by Adrian Blue is a short novella that, while well-structured, left me wanting more. The premise is intriguing, but the execution felt rushed and lacking in detail. I found myself relying on the synopsis to fill in the gaps in the story.

While the concept of a monstrous protector is appealing, the execution fell short for me. I struggled to connect with the characters and the world-building felt underdeveloped. The pacing was uneven, with some parts feeling rushed and others dragging.

If you're a fan of short, quick reads and don't mind a lack of depth, Ornamental might be worth checking out. However, for those who prefer more substantial stories, this novella may not be the most satisfying read.
