🦎 Hemipenes 🦎 Botanist MMC 🦎 The coolest female ogre secondary character 🦎 forbidden faculty × student relationship (mid 20s/30s)
A sweet story of a human and a monster who, after feeling rejected their entire lives, finding the beauty in choosing each other 🫶🏻
Also its set at a school for human×monster cultural understanding where half the student body goes to find a mate. And the school has certain...classes to support this. (Eg....✨️stretching ✨️)

This Beauty and the Beast retelling read really fast, I like the setup of how our characters met and thought the situation was presented well, especially how midwife Amity was being pursued which increased the stakes and added a lot of drama. I didn't fully follow how brides were being purchased at the auction but they had right of refusal, but whatever, I understood how Amity chose Riven. Overall I thought there was okay character work for the length of the book, but it felt like the backstories of the characters really was what introduced most of the world building and plot set up. I felt that this was quite strong at the beginning but then started getting kind of generic after they are both together at Riven's house, and there was not enough time spent together or getting to know each other. Though the tender first kiss was very romantic, it very quickly led to a dramatic sex scene that felt out of place/in a different tone than the rest of the book. Ultimately I liked how Riven defended Amity, but the ending felt a little rushed.
I was informed that this author uses generative AI in their writing, which is not okay with me, and I do not want to read anything else in this series or by this author because of that. I feel like some of the reviews are a little bit too gushing and effusive, I think the last third or so of the book was just a little bit too rushed and using magic as a cure-all didn't really work for me, a little bit too much hand waving.

Saw this on my facebook and intended to sent it privately to my best friend but I messed up and share it on my profile for all my FB friends to see. It became a happy accident because my book friends (whom haven't talked to in a while) engaged on the post and we had fun on roasting my chaotic evil friends.
I'm lawful evil. You?
