To make it worse, two of the three central lesbians in the series were portrayed as sexual predators. The development of the main characters fell flat in this book, the chemistry between the two female leads always felt forced, and the love interest never responded to the sexual harassment in a realistic way. The love interest (who is a childhood sexual assault survivor) then FORGIVES HER and goes on to begin a romantic relationship with her (even defending the main character against those that would have her face consequences for her actions). After reading Ragnarok, l had to rescind those recommendations seeing as the main character sexually harasses and eventually SEXUALLY ASSAULTS the main love interest.

It had its flaws, but I quickly became invested in the characters and story and recommended it to friends.

I was so excited about this series after finishing the first book. (Spoilers and discussion of sexual assault)ĭisappointing doesn't even begin to cover how I feel about this trash fire. I'm annoyed enough at the loss of my time to this stupid book series, to write an Amazon review which is like a. He didn't crush my soul or make me cry or whatever pain he gleefully implies I should've experienced by reading his dumb book. If you try to sexually assault someone, even if you don't go through with it, you suck in a way that I can't adequately describe and still get my review approved by amazon. I'm not gonna read a book series where the main character is an attempted rapist. I think Ari Bach thinks he's being like, progressive, or thought provoking? He's always talking about how this series is sooo upsetting and soul crushing and whatever. Halfway through this book, the protagonist tries to sexually assault her female love interest, and her love interest FORGIVES HER. Ari Bach talks a big game being all 'oh my god, this series is totally groundbreaking! this is going to be the new Twilight!' You know what isn't going to be the new big thing? A book where the protagonist is a rapist.
