A review by mcaliz
The Becoming by Nora Roberts
2.0
Overall:
Content warning; semi-graphic rape scene*
Rep: dragons, male/male romance
Thoughts
Neutral thoughts:
Honestly the only good thing about this book were the wholesome cringe moments between some of the love interests and family.
The plot is ALL over the place, and you know that scene in The Emperor's New Groove when Yzma, Kronk, Kuzco & Pacha are racing their way back to the palace & you see them on the map just making their way there & it’s just all over the place. THIS WHOLE BOOK FELT LIKE THAT SCENE. There was just so much going on, while at the same time, it felt like nothing was going on.
*About the rape scene, it features very dubious consent & I was very taken aback by it. I haven't seen a SINGLE review that mentions this, so just as a forwarding, there's essentially a rape scene even though the person "consents" to having sex with a certain person.
Pros:
We have a dragon bonding moment & it was very cute.
Gripes:
There are so many unnecessary scenes! And Subplots! Especially Shana’s! Completely unnecessary, even though I see where it's "going", I still think it's not necessary.
The romance(s):
Breen and Keegan were weird & very lukewarm in this.
