Fractured Shadows

Maybe I am just looking too much into what is quite clear a smut book, but overall I was just glad once the book was finished.

First, the main character’s magic felt like a major cop-out. Instead of having clear rules, her powers just conveniently did whatever the plot needed at any given moment. It made any tension or stakes meaningless because you knew she’d just magic her way out of it.

On top of that, the main character seemed to randomly know things she absolutely shouldn’t. At one point, she somehow understood monster traditions with no prior exposure or explanation.

The characters themselves didn’t help matters either. One relationship in particular jumped from dislike to love interest in the span of two short chapters, with no real development. It made the romance feel rushed and unbelievable.

And for a book that promised monsters, I was left disappointed. Instead, most of the "monsters" were basically just muscled men with a monster feature slapped on. It was disappointing and felt more like a missed opportunity than a real dive into monster fantasy.
