Octavian's Undoing by Airicka Phoenix

4.0

This is a new author read for me and since Gideon just released, I wanted to get started. This series has so much potential. The writing is good, author just needs to tighten things up a bit. Some parts dragged and others needed more but all in all I enjoyed this. She has some great creatures and the mythology behind them, I thought, was good. There's a bigger picture going on, which is told a little bit at a time, which I like. The romance/relationship part needs to be more adult like, I didn't think this was YA, and yet the romance/sex part played out as so, maybe I'm mistaken. Overall, it's good and I'm thinking and hoping it gets better as the series develops. I think the author has great things ahead and I already purchased Gideon to read on. I would also give her other books a whirl. I really loved the family dynamic in this story.
