The first half is a solid 5*, but the second half started showing some problems.
I absolutely powered through this, because I loved all the individual stories. I loved the characters, the diversity, the plot lines, and the running plots that sometimes took several books to fully resolve.
However, there were some issues. The formatting was ALL over the place (some highlighted words, various font sizes, underlined text, various hyperlinked text) and there were more than a few editing issues throughout, including mislabelling of characters. It could have been run through an editor or a few beta readers to solve those problems and deal with the inconsistencies.
And, only because I read it in one volume, I noticed that there was a heavy emphasis on Omega's being abused, and specifically kidnapped or sexually abused. But, there was almost no PTSD or residual mental scarring. These Omega's who were kidnapped, assaulted, sometimes brutalised, were often having sex (willingly and eagerly) with their new Alpha's minutes after knowing them. There are also too many similar sounding names - when it comes to everyone ending up in one scene together, it gets confusing between Colby, Colt, Clark, Colin, Sebastian, Spencer, Ralph, Rafe, Alrik, and Alexi.
I also didn't like how the second half of the book tried to change the characters we'd grown to love into enemies. For example, Cian's story made me cry, but later on he became the villain in Harry's story. I fell in love with Colby instantly, and he was one of my favourite characters throughout, until he became the enemy in Clark and Jackie's story, for no reason that made sense.
I began skimming the sex scenes after Book 5, because there were just *so many* of them.
I found the Asgaard plot a little ridiculous and it didn't naturally fit into the plot or world that had been laid out before then.
I also didn't like that the only Asexual Alpha was suddenly a sex god the minute he found the "right" Omega in Connor and Devlin's story. I was actually really looking forward to seeing what the author would do with an asexual Alpha, but it just fell flat.
Too many of the couples had touches of BDSM or D/s in their relationship for me to buy the whole "enemy" storyline and judgemental attitude they tried to force on Colby in Clark and Jackie's story. It was so unbelievable for anyone to by judgy about that, and I didn't like the way Jackie said anyone with a safe word was just "playing" at it, because a true D/s relationship didn't need one. That's just grossly misrepresenting BDSM and D/s relationships, as well as implying that it's better NOT to have a safe word.
And I wasn't a fan of the short stories where the author made themselves a central 1st person POV character. Those didn't feel right to me, and they didn't read as cohesively as the other stories. The shorts also had a tendency to be nothing but slapstick comedy with no real purpose, but they were unavoidable because they had some vital pieces of the series that you needed to flow from one novel to the next, e.g. showing us how Vlad first appeared, and how Levi and Zade made up. Without reading those shorts, you would never have followed along with those storylines.
So...while I enjoyed about 98% of the stories, and I loved the characters, there were a lot of niggling things that just bothered me too much. Yes, I'd probably come back to read a few of the stories again in the future, but I probably wouldn't read *all* of them. Some were stronger than others.
