Yuck.
The fact that people compare this to ACOTAR is laughable.
Page one starts with an orgy, and not even a well written one. By page seven (seven!) the orgy has included all kinds of kinky acts that Amazon would gladly flag my review for mentioning, and you haven’t even gotten one glimpse of the FMC, nor do you have any idea what the plot is supposed to be.
It’s lazy writing to cram badly written spicy scenes in where they don’t need to be just to try and keep your audience engaged.
And the scenes are badly written. I’m no prude, but these were written like someone trying to write stage directions on a stack of cue cards. (Now you, move there. And you grab this. And I’m going to do this. Yay we’re done, the end, exit stage left)
I didn’t make it very far in, I pushed beyond the initial ridiculousness and realized that King Midas is described as not even very attractive, and he calls his harem “saddles” that he gets to “ride” and the FMC is kept in a cage her whole life and for some reason she just really luuuuuuuuvs him.
Gag. Barf. Bleach my hands for even holding this book please.
At least the cover is pretty…I’ll enjoy watching it go into the trade in pile at the local used book store.
