Persuasion

I have gotten very into reading Reverse Harem novels lately. It's super hard to find decent ones that don't just read like fan fiction. This series is really good though. Both the characters and the story are fully fleshed out and well written. I'm enjoying becoming invested in this world and pleased that I discovered this author.

After finishing the oddball and indefinable first novel, I dug into this second right away to see what disasters Willa would get into this time with her five Sols.

Willa does indeed trip, stumble and cause general chaos, especially when she accidentally ends up in a floating platform world in the sky and angers the big Sols who toss her over the side. Still, Willa irritated me most of the novel and it got a bit repetitive and over the top how she keeps accidentally getting herself in weird situations of smooshing against the guys or is donned in wet shirts and nudity scenes. Some of her dialogue grates on her my nerves like nails on a chalkboard too, but hey, it’s balanced since the story is fun enough and the Sols hold up the ship show more when it starts sinking into the silly zone too fast.

You’d definitely need to read this in order and know what’s going on, but also to get into the characters since the actual storyline doesn’t start for awhile and it holds up by being invested in the character’s lives and their disasters up till this point. If you don’t care about any of that or like any of them, you’d kind of be screwed since the storyline takes a bit to take off.

I was happy to see Dwellers are getting a backbone because of their submissive nature annoying the peaches off me. Developments are stirring up from various sources, and I liked meeting the God of Neutral and more with the God of Chaos, the inter-romantic rhythms with the five and their “pact”.

Nonsensical and over the top, it’s just plain fun and induces smiles at the same time it’s bringing out the groans and eye rolls.

Was a buddy read with the MacHalo bunch. show less

While the five Abcurse brothers are trying to prevent Willa from killing herself by tripping over something or whatnot, they discover a dweller rebellion is brewing. And even more.. it seems chaos has its name written all over it.

My take on the book:
Yes, I caved, I had to buy it... I just love the brothers so much. Seriously, I need 5 of my own (looking at you, Universe!) Damn you writers :D (just kidding, just kidding!!)
While Willa is rly trying her best to not cause any more trouble than she already does on a daily basis, the brothers now have a 'pact' that keeps everything disgustingly platonic... well... most of the time. Which isn't easy as Willa needs to be close to at least one of them for her fractured soul to quiet down and show more not hurt.
It was an easy and fun read, the flow was good and it was well written. No errors (or rly minor ones) as far as I can tell. Not as much character development as I would have liked, though that didn't rly bother me. While the plot is fairly obvious it doesn't take away from the pleasure of reading the book. I enjoyed the book very much and I would recommend this series to anyone looking for a few hours of fun, some face palming and some rly delicious men. show less
