Aine
by Invi Wright
I was very excited to start reading Invis backlog after reading The Female series but maaan this book needs work.
The story itself was a fun dark shifter romance just as promised, but it needs some drastic editing. Just off the top of my head, at one point the main character mentions her ex husband would go to the brothels, but then later in the book they go to a town and pass a brothel and she doesn’t know what it is and the other main character needs to explain it to her. There’s a lot of stuff like that.
I also have no grasp on the world they’re living in. At one point the main character gets an IV and she knows what it is, but a few minutes later she gets a wheel chair and just has no clue what it is. They have indoor plumbing (toilets & showers) and blood transfusions, but when she talks about her village it sounds like it’s in the dark ages (village “leader” who’s just seemingly some guy? instead of like, a mayor or some other form of government official, executions, sold for marriage). Also she doesn’t know what cats are which is just… why??? It doesn’t even become a thing she doesn’t get to have a cat because cats are scared of the shifters so what was the point of it?
Anyways, I did finish the book because as I said the story was fun and I love Invi Wrights other books but man. It was damn near painful at points.
