Our Fae Queen #1-3
Our Fae Queen Box Set #1-3
When my magic suddenly awakens and uninvited guests crash my birthday party, the Fae royal guard saves me... And kidnaps me.
These irresistible, protective Fae want to whisk me away to their enchanted realm. A world that’s fading without its queen — me.
To save the Tree of Life and Fae magic, I’ll need to bond with five consorts, one of each Fae kind:
A tall, ancient Elf. A powerful, charming Kitsune. A playful, flirtatious Nixie. A bookish, reclusive Duwende. And a moody but magnetic Veela.
Until my birthday, I thought I was human, and I had no idea magic is real. To make matters worse, not everyone wants me to take the throne — and the enemy is hunting me.
Instead of graduating college, it’s time to find out if an inexperienced young Fae like me can really save a world I never knew existed.
No pressure, right?

um to be honest i felt like i was reading a fanfic i made when i was like 12. i didn’t finish it and couldn’t really get into it because it was just so weird. some of the characters really pushed the mc boundaries and she did literally nothing or really felt anything about it. it was just frustrating and weird.

3.75 🌟
the fmc was so annoying. i was so bored with her repetitive, stupid thoughts. “oh no, i don’t want to be responsible” etc etc
the only reason i kept reading was because i wanted to know what happens at the end
also i saw the traitor from a book (actually make that two) away… how did no one pick up on that, at least a little bit?!!!!!??
also merc’s and glorianna’s friendship is so unbalanced. glori just depends on her and doesnt do much than create a scene to go to merc’s graduation and than wallow in self-pity for causing whatever happened to merc which was glori’s fault in my opinion 😒

Review
Book 1: Overall, this book started out slowly, due to the author’s world building and story building. Which works really well once the story gets going. I really enjoyed reading this book. There is a lot of mystery and distrust with a lot of the characters and Glori. Her mother’s, whom she believed loved her and wanted her, ended up being evil…or so we are believed to be that way. The Elven Guard takes Glori away from her mothers and the evil faes, that tried to pretty much rape her. The Guard tells Glori the truth and her, Angel, and Ken are fae themselves. There is a lot we get to learn from different POVs, which I love. We get to see Ken, Angels, Lyall, Rorik POVs, with a surprise one from Glori’s best friend Merc. I love being able to see the other main/love interests POVs. It gives more depth to the other characters that we get to meet and know through Glori’s eyes. Though there is a lot of different world building being done and many characters that are being introduced, the story itself is nicely written and goes into many mythologies around the world which I love.
I love the relationship between Merc and Glori. Glori being the shy and unconfident young woman, while the best friend is outgoing and confident. It’s a cliché but…it works. That is one problem I do have with Glori in the first book, she is so shy and submissive to everyone around her that she is often overshadowed by the minor characters. I really hope that she gets better in the upcoming books, especially if she is supposed to be the main character and the QUEEN OF THE FAE! I know she is supposed to be a relatable character that comes into her power (and her magical powers) …or at least I hope that is the way it is supposed to go.
I also love the relationships that are being built with Kenji and Angel. I really hope they show her that she is perfect and can do what she is supposed to do. They have a great friendship, even if they have very different views on things (such as their views on relationships). I think that it adds to the story and gives more depth to the characters that are introduced farther into the book. I love that there are so many diverse characters. Not just with height and race, but also with sexualities. So far, I am loving this book series.
Book 2: I would definitely categorize this book as a slow burn. Like so slow it’s not even a burn. While Glori does go through a bit of a change in this book, there is not much else going on for her other than her building her relationship with Kenji and Angel. She did grow a backbone when it came to the council and the guard. She demanded what she wanted and ended up sticking to her guns with it.
I was surprised to find out that Thressa was a traitor! I really hated that she was, and we don’t get too many of her P.O.V.s, it was still a shocking surprise, but it was well needed. To have a guard member be the one to work with Janneth and Caci, Glori’s “parents”, I think that will really hurt Glori in the future when she finds out. As well as the rest of the guard. I was also shocked when Vidonia, a High Council member, kidnapped Glori, Kenji, Angel, and Merc at Mercs graduation! Which was shocking to say the least. I think that having the High Council “test” Glori was horrible, even if all the council was not in on it. Vidonia, a nixie, wants to be queen, but with her powers and her hunger for power I KNOW she would abuse that status. While at this point, I don’t agree that Glori is meant to be the queen, she still had the potential to be a good queen.
I was surprised, and not surprised, to hear the term “Queen of Queens” …a myth that Glori or a queen rising to power would be the most powerful queen of all. While I feel that may end up being another cliché that could be added to the list, I think if done right it could be a cool concept to add to the story.
I do love that we got to see Glori, Kenji, and Angel all become closer and cement the “consort” bond. Those were nice little add in. Though I don’t know why Glori and Angel had to do it while being kidnapped, but to each their own, I guess. I did like what Traci did with the “consort” bond. That was an interesting and nice twist to the plot.
Overall, I feel this was a nice addition to the series so far, while I am still not a HUGE fan of Glori’s, I can support her. She isn’t as helpless as she was in the first book. She does grow up a bit and learns to stand up for herself.
I will add that I LOVED the interview with Angel and getting to see Angel’s P.O.V. of their fun together. I am really interested in who the next consort will be. Though I think it will be either Lyall or Rorik. Those are the only two we really get to see the P.O.V.s of most. Though Nolan is also an option, I don’t know if it will happen or not, given his P.O.V. and what we learned from that.
Book 3: Again, this book surprised me. I loved that we got to see more of the main characters’ different points of views, and I loved being able to see the feelings between everyone. I did hate that Nolan had so many secrets (that later were revealed to the group, I will get to that), but I can also understand his reasoning. I hate that Thressa is still working with Jen and Caci, I don’t really understand her reasoning, though she never really gives us one. I will say that Glori is growing in this book as well. She is not as helpless and hopeless. She is learning to use her magic more, and even found out she has a predator shift, which is a cobalt lynx! Which is pretty cool and does come in handy when they are attacked later on at the tree of life.
Una seems to be pretty strong and willing to lead, though I am not sure that I think she would be a good queen…mainly because we don’t get to see her P.O.V. I think getting Una’s view would be cool. Though I doubt we will in the next three books. I do love that she is more confident and more queenly than Glori. I will give Una that. Turned into a lynx and SAVED Una from an unseelie. Though Una did lose two of her consorts, which was very sad due to the fact that Una loved both her consorts that passed. I think that having Glori not only save Una but also lose Jen, caused a lot of growth for her. While Caci got away, she was still detached from her “parents”. I think that allowing Glori to be able to see that Jen died and that she can protect those she cares about (because I fell she does care about Una as a friend) gives her more strength and potential.
The battle scene at the Tree of Life was EPIC!!! I absolutely LOVED that Glori
I can’t believe that Lyall was the next consort, while I had a feeling, he would be one at some point, I expected it to be farther down the line…like much farther! I think that with the bonus chapter of his we get more than what we would have without it. His thoughts are jumbled and confused mostly about the fact that he doesn’t want Glori to just like him or care about him because he is a consort. Which I get, him feeling like that would be a hard thing to handle with someone you are FALLING FOR!
Characters
Glori – Elf – Main Character - 8/10 - Honestly starting out I hated Glori. She was so shy and unwilling to try new things, unless her friend Merc made her do It. She was really just listening to Merc or her “mothers” and never stood up for herself, even later in book one she talks about being more like Merc. She needs to figure out who she is as an individual person. I think that after fully finishing the book, Glori has the biggest change of everyone. She not only learned to stand up for herself, but she also learned to accept the life she was chosen/given. She never wanted to be queen, but after going to the Tree of Life she comes around to maybe it will be her to become queen and help her people.
Angel – Nixia – Consort - 9/10 - Angel is a poly guy. He is a cool collected person who seems to go with the flow better than Glori and Ken do once the guard comes and helps Glori. He is pretty relaxed and open to the way of the fae.
Ken – Kitsune – Consort - 9/10 - Ken is a one-person kind of guy. Due to his past, he doesn’t agree with Angel’s lifestyle, but he accepts his friend as he is. Which is a pretty big thing, I think. Even though he is vocal about his belief about the way Angel lives (poly), but he still accepts that is who his friend is.
Lyall – Elf – Guard Leader/ Consort - 8/10 - I feel that Lyall is keeping way more secrets from Glori than we are led to believe. He isn’t open about the queenhood with Glori, and he seems to not be willing to truly help her to become the queen they all need her to be. I think that by the end of the book I understand Lyall better. He is just a man who is trying his best to protect the heir and now the one he is falling for. He works so hard to not let everyone see how fearful he is and how unsure he is, but he is just as scared as the rest of the group.
Rorik - Vella – Guard/ Consort? - 4/10 - Rorik is an ass. He treats Glori, Ken, and Angel like crap because they grew up among humans, which is stupid if you ask me. They didn’t really have a choice in the matter, especially Glori. He is harsh on the three new faes and is just plain rude.
Nolan – Duwende – Guard/ Consort? - 3/10 - Not much is known about him yet, though he is holding a lot of sadness and secrets from the guard and Glori. Honestly learning more about Nolan’s reasons behind everything is starting to be concerning. Yes, he lost a lot of his people because of the Unseelie, and the Seelie didn’t help, but working to make it to where only the Duwende have their full magic back…is just as bad as the unseelies and their “we are the only ones who deserve the true power that the tree of life give us”. Yes, I totally understand wanting to be able to get back at those who hurt you, but at some point, you have to ask, are you just as bad as those that are the bad people. I really hope that Nolan turns himself around.

I’d give this one 4.5 stars. First book 4 stars, 2nd maybe 4.3 and 3rd book 4.6 I love the character progression. Seeing Glori grow makes me happy. I hate a spoiled brat.

I’m honestly shocked that this book was enjoyable. Based on the blurb (reverse harem…) I thought it was going to be god awful and started it as a joke.
Sure there were some things about the fantasy element I didn’t like, I’m looking at you healing kisses and technology not working around magic. But honestly I mostly enjoyed the world and plot, shocker.
I was so concerned this was going to basically be pure smut from the blurb but I was relieved to find a majorly insecure MC which prevented that for the 1st book at least. Honestly across the 3 books I think she gets intimate like 4 times which was way less than I was expecting. The MC was disappointingly straight though which was annoying considering most in the plot were pan.
The plot did move slowly though honestly, in 3 books and 1,200 pages I honestly feel like not much was accomplished but I do appreciate the in depth storytelling and world building so maybe that’s the price

DNF - a great big nope for me. How can you write a RH where the FMC isn’t even mature enough to get an Uber home from a frat party? Instead her MOM picks her up???!!!!! The whole thing just feels very juvenile.

honestly this was such a hard read for me and i found myself continually skimming throughout book two.
the first two books were so hard. it absolutely blows my mind how this one girl can somehow endanger the lives of thousands of fae and feel justified.
the first two books are slow, i considered not finishing a few times. i also really didn’t enjoy how even when we get other povs all they think about is the fmc.
the books were all repetitive from descriptions to her constant complaining of not wanting the responsibility of being queen, which i understood the first 10 times she said she didn’t want to be queen. don’t even get me started on the random trip to the human realm endangering literally everyone so one human could tell glori the SAME THING others had already told her or she had already said to herself. i liked rorik the most ironically. probably because i agreed with almost everything he said.
what got the two stars then?
the last book. in the last book i began to actually enjoy our fmc as she grew a backbone and enjoy how she finally seems to sense how dire the situation at hand really is. she seems to finally grasp it which i had been waiting for. she finally realized that she had been selfish and that this is for ALL the fae and their magic. there was finally growth in her character. also there was finally a bit more spice.
i’ve seen a bunch of good reviews for each book , and i love rh books, so maybe im just one of the few that didn’t enjoy it. im not sure. i think i might cave for the next few books because they’re easy reads and im hopeful that i’ll enjoy them. im already half way through i feel like i mine as well finish.

i’ve seen a bunch of good reviews for each book , and i love rh books, so maybe im just one of the few that didn’t enjoy it. im not sure. i think i might cave for the next few books because they’re easy reads and im hopeful that i’ll enjoy them. im already half way through i feel like i mine as well finish.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

I loved the progression of the books and how Glori evolved. It was a little repetitive and the same concerns Glori had got slightly annoying in book 2 but was really worth it and redeemed by the end of book 3. It almost made it better because there was like a deeper sense of relief, grounding and acceptance at the end of book 3 that might not have been felt if Glori hadn’t been to persistent and single minded in the first 2 books. The 3rd book has been my favorite so far because we also sue Glori shedding some of her human inhibitions which also helped her character evolve and redeem herself from the previous books. I also like how the plot is developing and how unpredictable it’s been so far. I got this box set on stuff your kindle day on a whim and now I’m hooked and So excited for the next 3 books!

great start
Omg I love these characters. I have read the other reviews of people desiring to see Glori stronger but being a mom of 3 girls I can empathize with what Glori was going through. She found out earth shattering news piled on more news piled onto an orgy. My God what young girl who was sheltered her whole life be expected to do. She is raised by 2 extremely controlling mothers who have Glori doing exactly as she is told or they move away to another city. Love the slow buildup to her consorts and lovers. I like to see that she is building a relationship with each one not just sexy time. I do love the spice in these books though. You will not be disappointed.

Oooohha
Just leave a body hanging that's not so cool. I was really into it and blame the book is done. Well damn. Not a book for young readers. Sexual content.

DNF @ 23% - review to come 🥴
_______________________________________
June 5 - I finished this book in March and apparently drafted this unhinged review shortly after in my phone's notes app. I just found it while cleaning up said app. I don't remember much about the book, so I'm just leaving it as-is. I apologize in advance for the following chaos.
_______________________________________
Okay… I’ve never had so many words about something I DNF’d at 23%… I just couldn’t do it. There was potential, but I just couldn’t push through.
Let it be known that I am a mood reader with insomnia and ADHD. AKA I go through books alarmingly fast and sometimes put them down once only to forget about them forever. I am not proud. But it takes a decent bit of frustration for me to actually DNF a book. This is much more of a sleep-deprived rant than a review, so do what you will with my ramblings.
The good:
- The depth of the lore and the way (most of) it was explained was very well-developed.
- With that, the way the author designed their version of the fae realm/royalty was pretty unique. It had a lot of the basic elements (seelie/unseelie, elves, kitsunes, glamours, some of the physical appearances, etc.) yet a lot of it felt new and different to what I’ve read before.
- The characters really stood out to me, and it was easy to get a feel for all of their individual personalities. Even when the FMC herself seemed more vague and “plain”, it came across as intentional compared to many of the other more vibrant or assertive personalities.
Now for the bad (I’m sorry):
- Definitely felt like even the author thought the elves were superior to the other fae… which plays right into the basic storyline of the MC being all-powerful, despite her love interests showing more instances of bravery and skill. Nope, she’s better because of her blood. I mean… the other fae seem to have one prevalent “gift” that they’re masters in, where the elves gave lots of other skills (some of which take away from the impact of other characters’ skills … *cough* Kitsune/illusion:Elves/glamor *cough*)
- Some of the more “complex” scenes (either explanations/worldbuilding type of stuff or action scenes) totally lost me. I had to go back and reread paragraphs multiple times because I was completely confused as to what was going on. (Spoiler for early on in the book: )
- Along with that… maybe I missed a page but some of the story just straight up doesn’t make sense. Why would the rule totally skip Nualla and go to the 5 heirs who weren’t born yet?? Dividing the power I understand but Nualla was the Elven heir yet there was no ruler in place for 1,500 years?? Or was it just the tree of life thing that couldn’t be done for that long? I’m sure if I kept reading I’d figure it out, but I feel like I shouldn’t be this confused after they explained it a few times??
- Their ages???? Not the fact that they’re all 25 and in college, but the fact that they are all acting like high schoolers? The FMC is the worst, and I can understand being shy and moving around a lot can hinder your social skills, but some of the interactions seriously felt like she was 16 at best.
- The overkill with detail. I’m sorry but to me, unless it’s legitimately relevant to the story, listing the names of every single street you turn down while traveling is just clogging my brain with useless information. I genuinely feel that those details are threaded into a story to be referenced later. At this point, we got the names of the streets the FMC lived on along with practically every other street in Boulder. A minor detail, but it irked me because I tend to focus on details and assume they’ll be relevant… which was not the case here
- The multiple POV’s got messy at times for me in this one. Usually when we see so many POV’s from the start, it serves a purpose of getting to know the character to drive the plot forward. Yet we kept getting POV’s that were from characters that continued to be a mystery for quite awhile (if other reviews are anything to go by). With how much world-building, kidnapping, character development, romance, references to the past, lore, etc. were expected to absorb, the POV’s got lost on me and I found myself skipping through some of them to get back to the “important” parts.
- The power being divided to the 5 heirs was a really interesting concept and it could have taken the story in a whole new direction if the 5 heirs had to actually work together to restore everything and whatnot. But right off the bat it seems like there were only 2 heirs remaining and everything alluded to Glori begrudgingly being slotted as the next queen. So when the last queen kept saying “keep them guessing”… what were they guessing, exactly?? Because the book turned out to lead in the direction of the Elven heir being assumed the next queen….. as it had always been before??? So like… no big, dramatic “in your face” to the Unseelie? Even if she ends up fighting one of the other types of fae for the throne, it was still being set up as though she would be the one to take the power, which to me really takes away from the statement the last queen was trying to make to the prejudiced Unseelie. I just feel like that was a bit of a let-down.
Lastly, Even though it’s small and innocuous, the nail in the coffin for me was the incessant mentions of the characters’ heights. When I first started the book, I was actually commending the author because it was refreshing to see some male protector-types described as something other than a 6 foot 5 sex god with tree trunks for thighs. But then quickly, my optimism turned into the equivalent of a meme of someone flipping over a desk.
WE GET IT, GLORI, YOU ARE TALL. I can completely understand using it as a reference when introducing characters or for specific scenes, but my GOD it was getting frustrating that there were so many instances. It was used with regard to every. Single. Character. Even the characters taller than her were “barely” taller than her and she did not let you forget it. But even if you’re gonna go down that path, please for the love of god switch up the adjectives!!!
These are actual dialogue from the book, describing one specific character:
- “the short, skinny guy clearly wasn’t used to having many friends”
- “as short as he was, he could be mistaken for a kid on a small bike”
- “I tore my eyes away to look down at the short man beside me.”
And there were more than that. Mind you I’m only 23% in and I just didn’t want to go through and mark every instance of Glori (or another POV) remarking on his height. They really did Nolan dirty. There was even a part that blatantly said “Nolan still stood barely over five feet, much shorter than anyone else in the group so far. Yet it did nothing to detract from his undeniable masculinity”. Why did that feel so back-handed??
But it’s constantly a descriptor for other characters, too. And maybe I only notice the less blatant (albeit frequent) remarks like “we were finally eye-to-eye” or “I tilted my head down to kiss him” or “since I was taller, I began to hand things down to him” but they all added up in my head to an eye-rollingly large ick that I just couldn’t get past. Like when you notice you missed a spot cleaning and it’s the only thing you can think about until you fix it? Or you notice something in a song and can never un-hear it?
Anyway, I wanted to like it. I love a good fantasy book with some realism intertwined. Real-life college campus and frat parties mixed with Fae royalty and multicultural folklore?? Count me in! But something about this book just got lost for me. Maybe the overkill on the detail and the descriptors, maybe the way it started to feel less and less authentic as the story progressed… I don’t know.
If I pick up a book about shifter fated mates in a small town, I know I’m in it for a good time, not for the crazy imaginative storyline and intensive worldbuilding and depth. But with a book like this, I got sucked in based on the premise of the way this author built their fae world and I had high hopes. Unfortunately, for me, they just fell flat.
And PS (maybe spoiler? Maybe not)
While looking at other reviews after DNF’ing (to see if I was alone in my frustration), I came across one of the “big plot twists” revealed. Which, I had predicted basically the second time that person’s name was mentioned. It was so obvious to me, I didn’t even realize that was being set up to be a pivotal plot twist…. So I fear I may have experienced even more of a let down had I kept reading.

Extremely frustrating
The main character has no sense of self. After getting to the second book she is no better than the first page. Her thinking is extremely narrow minded and lacks the intelligence to see any bigger picture other then herself. She falls back on her trama that she didn't even know was trama and expects everyone to give her answers to questions she doesn't ask. Then gets mad when they forget she doesn't know. THEY DONT KNOW TO TELL YOU! There is no originality to this series as it seems there is only the same story with different characters for most of these types of fantasy books. " Hot guys that want weird girl who is shy and has no direction for herself, but also suddenly she is a queen to another realm. " This year alone I've read the same story line at least 25 times. I hate the main character and understand the "villains" better. No, she shouldn't be queen, yes she is useless. No skills and can barely say no even deep into the second book unless she puts herself and an ENTIRE WORLD of people in danger just so she can feel better. This is horrible and cliche. I'd rather read the Bible as a pagan then continue this series. I'm so glad I got it on free Kindle Day so I don't have to call and get my money back.

I tried I really did
I didn't make it psst half way through the second book. Maybe I should have heeded the, it is like Merry Gentry books blurb which should have been a warning to me. Though the frigid prude that Glori is, is more reminiscent of early Anita Blake. Between her bizarre hang ups about sex and her need to be in control and get people killed she is like a 10 year old. Like she doesn't get that the unseelie want her and they will hurt those around her no matter if she "goes" with them. It is like she doesn't grasp, which after the third or fourth time she should have, that those close to her will end up harmed or dead even if she doesn't go with them. I spent the book and a half wanting to slap some sense into her. I am sure others will like this book, but the childishness of the main character and sex hang up belong more in a young adult book. Heck the few semx scenes is so tame it borders on boring.

keep reading it gets better and better
I started this series loving the backstory, the characters and the world building. But I struggled because I did not like the main female character. But the author promised that she would grow over the course of the series and so I stuck with it.
Mild spoiler:
I’m glad I did as she is finally getting easier to read at the end of book 3 and is no longer trying to foist her responsibility onto the first available character willing to accept it. Which makes her a lot more interesting and makes me less likely to want to throw my kindle when she is being a tad ridiculous about her choices in life.
I hope it will get even better in book 4.

I downloaded the book on my kindle and didn’t realize it was books 1-3, I signed up for a really long book! I was really confused that there was acknowledgements in the first part of the book, when there was still like 700 pages left.
THEN after I finished the first “book” I couldn’t stop. And read all 6 in 3 days.
It made me wish I was an elven queen and just didn’t know it yet 😜
Book features: mythology, diversity, polyamory, pansexual pride, 🌶️ after the first book and gets even more spicy towards the end of the series.
It takes awhile for there to be a resolution, unlike actor where they do and more things happen so it’s a long read but once you start you can’t stop. Buckle up, and prepare yourself for late nights reading!

This series is insanely bad. Grammar mistakes, holes in the plot, the main guys have blowholes?!? Are you serious? It sounds like someone went to CU to party and get a creative writing degree. It reads like a 18 year old virgin’s wet dream. The male MC’s have no mature qualities to them, all skittish and not taking command of any situation - it’s deeply unattractive. The prose is ridiculously simplified, I miss words with more than 3 syllables. Don’t do it. I don’t care if it’s free! Deleting from library.

Captivating
From the first chapter of the first book to the last word of the third book I was captivated. I tend to shy away from series books that are not stand alone. They seem to get redundant or nothing that sets the story apart from the other authors. It did have spicy scenes but it didn't lose the story. Character build up and chemistry with every character is amazing. Enough details I can picture everything in my mind but not so much detail that I am skipping through the words looking for substance. I will be reading more of this author's books.

I am enjoying the world and the characters. I don't really love the over use of the same descriptors over and over. I find it very jarring and showing of a lack of imagination. His forest green eyes could sometimes just be dark green, or just green especially when described by someone not hot for him, just as an example.
And repeating over and over her reasons for doing things or something that just happened in the last chapter just seems like word filler.

Everyone in this book is a whiney orphan. I don’t think there was a single character that wasn’t a orphan. Except the ones with alive parents, they were just whiny non-orphans.
Glori is a terrible friend and everyone else it bad at their job and stupid.
I hope that she develops further and stops wallowing in self pity but I just don’t have the patience to wait 2,000+ pages for that to happen.
DNF at 22%
But read what you want this is just my opinion.

Slow burn but good world building
This started so slow and I honestly thought I was going to DNF it. But after book 1 I was more interested...there's a lot of obvious storylines but mostly I'm enjoying the adventure, the romance, and how Gloria is becoming more confident. Also on the romance line this bookset 1 through 3 would be like a 3 on the spice scale. Hopefully for more spicy fun in the next 3 books.

Interesting Plot, Horrible FMC
I can’t remember hating an FMC more than I hate Gloriana. The ONLY reason I’m continuing with the next three books is because I want to know what happens. Reading this story takes dedication… will power… grit! Because Gloriana will grate every last nerve you have. I don’t have the smallest idea why this character was written sooooo immaturely but like I said the plot makes me continue.

Consiguió entretenerme y dejarme con ganas de leer la segunda parte, pero a veces se hace lentísimo. Perfectamente podrían ser tres libros en lugar de seis y, odio decir esto, se nota demasiado que la autora se autoedita: a su prosa le falta mucho pulido y su idea de transmitirte una idea es repetírtela cuarenta veces. Pero las escenas de acción y de sexo están muy bien, y huelo en el aire la promesa de femdom con el último consorte, así que allá que voy.
