➵ portal fantasy
➵ gods
➵ slow burn
➵ possessive mmc
Surprisingly, this was not bad at all. I'm obsessed with portal fantasy!! I was hesitant to pick this up at first because it's by the same author who wrote that blue alien series, but it was pretty good. Although, I hate all the rapey-ness of the world that the fmc ends up in. But maybe that's realistic? Not everyone can end up in Narnia.
The romance was cute, very slow burn, but I really enjoyed that. It's definitely not just smut, and you can tell that ample care went into character development and world building. I hear many people complaining about the length of the book, but I thought it was fine. The plot concerning the gods was genuinely very interesting and original. The story kept me engaged for all 600+ pages!
