Prey

It's rare when I don't have much to say about a book and I have 2 thoughts as best about this one. This was a women's rights catastrophe, the patriarchy won here. The society described here was every Trumpist's Dream. If you ever wanted to read a book where the events of The Handmaid's Tale were romanticized, here ya go

3.5 (+something probably) stars

I think this book definitely did what it was trying to do, and I thought it was enjoyable for what it was. It read depraved in the way that a show set in medieval times, like game of thrones or the like, would. Almost gratuitous or indulgent in emphasizing the social hierarchy and all its moral failings. It didn't feel very romantic, but personally I'm not sure a medieval romance can or should feel romantic. I feel like its just not the time or place really. Instead this was like a “what if there were omegas in medieval times” thought experiment.

In the end the FMC actually liked the heroes which is surprising and probably more than they deserve lol.
And the MMCs also liked the FMC which, again, is surprising and for the time is probably more than one could hope for.
