alina_heyhi 's review for:
The Emperor
by RuNyx
it is with a heavy heart that i write that this was a bit of a let down
i LOVED the predator and the reaper and i LOVEDDDDD Dante in both of them so i was mega excited for the emperor but sadly it did not give what i was expecting
i thought it was gonna give angsty friends to lovers forbidden romance but nopeee.
now this is 100% a me thing and i know getting a glimpse at their past and backstories is essentiel but the teenage crush and the entire past ordeal wasn't for me and was painful to read, don't get me wrong some parts were very sweet like dante taking care of her but her povs were very cringe and to think that she was 17 while he was 22 was also a big yuck for me.
fastforward :
i highly disliked how Dante decided to HURT her when she told him about his father's offer even though he was the one to persue her first and was the one who told her they could work he had no reason to say that shit to her only to run back to her and act like nothing happened a few months later and i hated that she just took him back, he asked Amara to wait for him with 0 reassurance or keeping her updated and got pissed at her for leaving ? who the fuck fakes his own death and not tell the woman he asked to wait for him? if it wasn't for Morana she would have never have found out the truth, he never told her ANYTHING and just expected her to follow his orders.
idk if it's because the first 2 books gave us both great romance and was jampacked with great plot and action as well , but the emperor was very boring at times and apart from the very few " infos" we got not much was happening apart from Amara being alone and waiting for Dante to give her the time of day.
her father and sisters being fucking despicable cunts really made me want to give her the biggest hug, to know that her father was the one to give the order to torture and rape her was so hard for me to read ( and here i thought Alonzo and Gabriel were shit fathers ) , her sister being so resentful of her for having a good support system made me sympathize with nerea a bit but that all went to hell when she attempted to kill her pregnant sister.
dante also pissed me off when he and Amara were taken for the 2nd time, his WOMAN was PREGNANT and was back to the place of her trauma where she could be hurt again and this man had the AUDACITY to be angry at her to not have told him she was pregnant even though that's his damn fault for faking his death, and for also not telling him she was raped, he had no right to be angry at her for any of those things let alone in a dangerous place
now for the things i loved ;
- how Runyx didn't show Amara's rape scene cuz i know how much DR authors love to throw in graphic Rape scenes for shock value
- Dante getting a dragon tattoo to match Amara's burn scars
- Anything Tristan and Morana
-how dante got her a kitten so she wouldn't be lonely
- introducing alpha and him wanting to get with Amara first which pissed dante off xD i also know it's gonna be an issue in his book ? that's what i was told anyway
- Tristan Caine and Morana Vitalio
- finally finding out where Dante went when he disappeared and why was Tristan so haunted and shacken up when he went back to Morana near the end of the reaper, it broke my hear that they saw that and Tristan thinking of his little sister
safety ;
- no real owd /omd but to keep their relationship a secret they agreed to fake date other people ( no sex though ) and she often saw him in magazines with other women, and he was at her appartement right after she was on a date with a collegue and got jealous
- no cheating
-virgin fmc
- it was never mentioned if he was celibate when he was taking care of her after the kidnapping, from that time to the time they got together was 2 years and my guess is he wasn't celibate but after to when they first have sex which is 1.5/2 years i'm assuming he was celibate and did wait for her
also RIP to Roni, dante's dead ex girlfriend that he had to kill at his father's orders
