Lor by Lily Mayne
5.0
Book safety, tropes and tags down below.
This series has been my favorite series basically since I read Soul Eater, and it has been reconfirmed as such with every new book. There’s just something magical about the writing and world Lily Mayne has created.
I’m not gonna write as much as I usually do, but here’s a summary of my experience:
grinning - smiling - worried - crying - crying more - how am I still crying? - make it stop - I need fluids - smiling while crying - smiling - grinning end scene
I’m literally exhausted after reading this, but it was so flippin’ good. Lor is the sweetest character ever, and Jugs is definitely one of my favorite human characters in the Monstrous series. I can’t wait for the day Jugs interacts with Danny. Can y’all imagine?! It’s going to be absolutely glorious.
My notes and highlights are riddled with spoilers. Beware.
Book safety
Cheating: No
OM drama: No
Third-act breakup: No, but the MCs are technically apart for a long time due to extenuating circumstances.
POV: 1st person, dual
Strict top/bottom or vers: They’re versatile
TW/CW: Non-human genitalia, explicit sexual content, illness, poisoning, grief, you-will-cry, mentions of parental death
Tropes & tags
Human/monster, two virgins, 80’s, mullet, crop tops and short shorts, piercings, royalty, emotionally distant parents, monster apocalypse, sleeping beauty, tear jerker, fate, a perfect overuse of the word ‘rad’
