The Unseelie King

uhhh- oddly enough this book has the same energy as those rom-coms where the mc is like “take me... home” proceeds to smolder out the window, looking at literally nothing

anyways, to rate this series? 0. 0 points. that ending could easily be one of the most unsatisfying things I have read in a long while. not only that, this entire series completely wasted my time bc the plot literally (and when I use the term literally- I MEAN LITERALLY) kept repeating itself.

big sexy man –> oh no, he's bad! –> I like this man, but I shouldn't because he's bad ^~^ –> fuck society, and fuck him (literally: they start fucking) –> ahhh, this post nut clarity is nice and I love him so much even though he is a closet racist hellbent on committing genocide –> I can't love him! I have to run away (back INTO the maze mind you) and become his prey –> big sexy man –> oh no, he's a bad hunter! and so on...

this was a really shit story which makes me question myself: why did I enjoy it so much? The characters' ideological consistency was wack, the plot was wack, and DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THAT ENDING but the one good thing? design. the world was sooooo amazing & it made me want to keep reading it. the characters' designs were so cool (!!) and the world was so beautifully enchanting w/ the orgy lore being so pleasantly entertaining that, all in all, I just had to keep reading it.

everything else though? terrible.

but, as a guilty pleasure read, it did its job. I enjoyed it at least & the smut was pretty aight (albeit violent and extremely stupid [at times]). it's a 1/5 though. rip. I never want to read this again, but boy, am I glad I did :)
