A review by moiranetty
The Badger & The Wolf by Casey Kirkland Johnson

emotional funny lighthearted medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

I really liked the first half of the book but the second half started going down hill for me. The writing started to feel almost too informal and at other times it felt like the author was just describing the actions the characters were doing, it had no life to it. Also there were a lot of mistakes in the 2nd half that I noticed, there might have been some in the 1st half but they were very obvious and threw off the flow of the story. It almost felt as though the 2nd part of the book wasn't beta read.

Here are some of those examples:

"He couldn’t fuck wait." pg 177 - pretty sure its supposed to be 'fucking'

"As he kept slowly sinking inside of her magic he started building in the air surrounding them." pg 197 - not quite sure what this is supposed to be saying.

“I want to make sure you feel ever time I fuck into vicious little one." pg 198 - pretty sure its supposed to be every not ever

"Her walls tightened straggling his knot" pg 199 - pretty sure this is supposed to be strangling not straggling

“Floating. In the air. Hoovering like in that Craft movie.” pg 209 - supposed to be hovering not hoovering. 

"There are only four Duncan’s left right now, and I have birth to three of them." pg 229 - I think have is supposed to be gave

These are a few things that made me giggle though:

"He couldn’t bury his face in her thighs every morning if he was in jail."

"He also seemed to have an extra finger. Good for him."
