Status Updates From This Other Eden

Is it that two different authors co-write this book? The first and the second halves feel drastically different.

Disappointing change of character

Refreshing heroine personality, of 300+ romance I’ve read, this is the most interesting character

*shocked pikachu face*

This is the most detestable MMC i've ever read. Also we're 357 pages in and only inching towards the first hint of romance now.

“The grotesque intermixture of human agony and absurdity that was the state of manhood.”

Only the absolute bananahead that is Lord Eden would come up with the stupid plan that he should assault the woman he is lusting after instead of holding a damned conversation

And William over here throwing a temper tantrum that he wants to rape the SAME woman because her sister, his mistress is “too familiar” a fuck

I’m only at 25ish percent and I’m struggling. This book is 500 pages 😬😭. I might need to do an audio listen to finish this, if there’s one out there

5 minute wonder that is sex with Lord Eden with his poor maid…
He is so pathetic and Marianne is a sado-masochist

I think this is the most detestable MMC i've ever read about. But i'm intrigued. Hopefully he has a huge character arc.

this is more a historical fiction so far than a romance, but it's well written and researched. Very enjoyable.

Thomas Eden is a 40 year old “tall man whose face and features bore the unmistakable imprint of genes gone awry” and Marianne is an apathetic (verging on psychotic) 16 year old who bullies the other villagers and her own family

They deserve each other, holy shit this ride we are on

Thus far, this one really took me off guard. It begins immediately with an imprisoned 16 year old girl waiting to be publicly whipped because she made fun of a young boy. Not romantic at all, but brutal, violent, and gory.

I’m going to start this one because the reviews seem so conflicted, I wanna know why so many people hated it, then loved it! Consider my curiosity piqued. 😁
