I picked this book up because the summary sounded so messy and I just wanted to read something fun and trashy. Imagine my surprise when I ignored the other 3 books I’m reading to binge through this. This book went down easy for me. This is the first polyamorous romance I’ve read and I think it was a great introduction to the trope. All three leads get their own section of the book so it felt like I got to know them all individually and the plot was certainly interesting. Solving a series of assassination attempts on the royal family? How fun!

This is Teen Wolf fanfiction pretending that it’s original. Obviously the AU elements make it original in a way, but I can’t stop seeing through the illusion.

The suspicion began mainly from the character names and associations:

Beacon Hills to Bekkon
Stiles to Symon
“John” to Jon, his dad
Melissa to Melisse, his step-mom
Scott to Darius, his similar-aged step-brother
Talia Hale to Tania Alloui, ruler of the shifters
Derek to Arven, direct male heir
Paige to Mersaighe, betrothed to the heir
Peter to Petur, the uncle in charge
Chris to Deyvid, the non-supernatural bodyguard and lover to the uncle

But then I went to check the physical description of Symon… he has moles and a snub nose. Normally that’s not enough to be definitive, but when you’ve read enough Teen Wolf fanfic, that’s like a neon sign for Stiles.

If I wanted to read fanfic, I would go read fanfic.

Another m/m arranged marriage political fantasy, this time includes a throuple. I feel like we only got sketches of the characters and didn’t go deep into their thoughts or goals. I may continue the series as they’re short and I appreciate the complexity of the world that’s being built.
