ladybug666's review against another edition
4.0
A very chill fantasy, sweet romance, decent world building that wasn’t too involved. Issues wrapped up quickly.
It’s easy to follow, well-written, I enjoyed it quite a bit. I just can’t with the slick and the knotting. Ick. I mean, everything about alphas and omegas kind of grosses me out, but I hate to say it… this book made it grow on me. And could they not have come up with a better word than slick?
That said, this was the least icky alpha-omega book I’ve read so far. And the sweetest. Probably helped not to have a “pack”. Yuck.
And, I’ll be totally honest, this was recommended as a great book that has a specific element. I was intrigued. I hadn’t heard of this yet. It was totally sweet when the subject came up; it’s nice to have a fantasy world in which this can happen. But… I was left with more questions lol. Like, I guess I don’t NEED to know the how or any specifics, but dammit have any books detailed the process from start to finish?? Like, ok, conception I don’t really care about and just leave it up to omega-ness, but… ugh fine, how does birth work????
I digress - I actually really appreciated Sycamore’s ambivalence to having a child, and he didn’t really find the joy in children until his got a little older when their personality developed.

There's nothing I didn't love about this! Can't recommend this book enough.
The writing was lovely. The story and world was completely immersive throughout the entire book. I loved both MCs, their horses, the land and Sycamore’s connection to it.
Just beautiful.
