Ok so very long review coming up.
So a bit confused cause I personally felt like the story was all over the place.
Snoe is the son of the great Blake leader who dies (for reasons we still don’t know, he just dies and it’s not explained if it’s cause of natural causes or something), and his stepmother hates him and he manages to escape to the woods somewhere far away near a shifter town.
Anyways his stepmother Hilde is trying to kill him cause she wants the witches king throne that’s now empty, and she doesn’t want Snoe to come back tot sue it so she hires some shifters to kill Snoe and then also told them to place a magical paper on him to torture him with pain.
Also Snoe has 2 step brothers by marriage and a stepsister who is half his sister. Anyways only 1 brother Dash ever bullied him and the other two are afraid of the Hilde so they just kinda shut up about everything, and ignore what happens to Snoe cause their mother is a bitch.
Anyway after Snoe gets tortured by the shifters who find him he makes a deal with a demon, made very obvious it’s the same demon who Hilde talks to. She doesn’t even know but if she had never listened to the demon in the mirror, Snoe never would have done what he does in the book. So she’s smart but in my opinion she just sounds like an idiot.
He gets 7 hot dudes that are low level demons and of course their first meeting is an all out orgy, which I’ll be honest I enjoyed. I kinda got bored after the second orgy tbh.
Anyway he goes on a major revenge plot, where he hunts down all the huntsman that tried to kill him. And he doesn’t just kill the huntsman, nope he kills their wives, friends, colleagues, there by mistake friends, children, whoever gets in his ways.
At this point I know Snoe was a ducking psycho with no actual emotions cause wtf. I understand killing the huntsman but killing everyone they knew is a little messed up. And he has his demons do it for him.
Then using his very very big connections, he enslaved one of the huntsman and some of that guys friends who were at his place, which is so messed up. I get the huntsman guy but the other people hadn’t done anything to him. But it’s describe like oh they are from huntsman clan so we should kill ‘em all.
He then goes and threatens basically every single high level witch that exists, threatens them, kills their kids, and everything else. All while killing all their servants, innocent or not. Most of them innocent cause most are humans and it’s shown that humans have basically no rights in this world at all.
He legit just goes on a killing spree and he has no moral compass at all. He’s taking his hatred for his father and step family out on everyone.
No regard for innocent people whatsoever.
He also kills his stepsister and the step brother who never actually did anything to him. Yes they didn��t take action to save him, but their mother is also a control freak cunt.
This guy is a literally crazy, he does whatever he wants, harms whoever he wants, and kills whoever he wants, regardless of their actions.
I didn’t like his character at all. The romance of course was very shallow, the plot was very boring and he has some serious plot armour. He is boring, and his only personality is the fact he’s seductive, idk. My guy was able to seduce 7 demons and a fucking demon lord (who supposedly toys with witches on the usual basis but our dear Snoe is “different”)
Also we find his mother had some deal with a demon but author never bother to further elaborate on the past of his parents, of the clan, of what was going on. None of that is given to us. Just that she died in a summoning circle and had a deal with vampire clan and was being used for blood. But no other context.
In the end, surprise surprise Snoe kills everyone, like everyone, and then has sex with his demons again, then he’s king and end of story.
No depth, no character depth, no romantic depth, no relationship depths, no side character depth. Everything is so linear and there’s no complexity to anything.
