Prince of Beasts by Lyonne Riley
adventurous
2.0
I’ve had so many excellent reads from this author. And two kingdoms, a marriage of convenience, a hint of fated mates, pining, plus a hero who was basically a Minotaur (complete with monster dong)—love all that.
But the thing holding this novella back: its single POV + our heroine being a too-boringly-perfect Mary Sue queen lady. Which shouldn’t necessarily = two stars, because the book was fiiine (and two stars is definitely more in the ‘bad’ zone)…
There was just a je ne sais quoi / this book took me four days to read even though it’s 82 pages?? thing. The book was putdownable in the extreme. For me, at least.
