3.5⭐️ Not what I expected.
Okay, so to start you need to know I either hate or only tolerate Omegaverse fantasy.
The only reason I was reading this, was cause, same author, different book and series, but apparently same universe. It mentioned characters obviously from a previous series, so I thought I should get some background.
I figured I’d just skim and skip, and since the synopsis suggested that the FMC fought, maybe would be a tolerable read.
Yeah, so the FMC was mostly passive aggressive manipulative, whiny, and betrayed body trope. Basically an omega.
Buuuut, the MMC however was a surprise. There was real humour with the scenes between the 2, and while he was kinda an alphahole at times, it could be excused as alien, in an alien society.
More importantly though, despite having all the power, he was on occasion willing to compromise, and better still, willing to learn about her.
All that skimming and skipping I expected to do, was only needed during the ‘omega’ sex scenes.
To be fair, the very last one of the book, was actually funny.
While he’s not my kinda book boyfriend, if my bestie turned up with him, I wouldn’t freak. By the end, he was adorably overprotective, and wrapped around her finger in a bluster and chest thumping manner.
I’m never gonna be a fan of omgaverse fantasy [I tried to start with the Alpha-blind girl one, (mentioned at the back of this) 😱🤢🤬], but surprisingly, I did enjoy this one and would be willing to check out another in this series.
