Knot Forgotten was a delicious Omegaverse book. Sometimes it's difficult to find an Omegaverse novel that isn't insta everything. Knot Forgotten follows 5 individuals that have known each other since they were young children and that background allowed everything to grow naturally versus being instalove/lust. I really appreciated that. It was also really well written.
I had a few issues with the book, preventing it from being a full five stars. The main one being that these 5 individuals grew up together. One of the last scenes from the book said they'd known each other since they were 6. The fact that 4 men that were "obsessed" with the FMC didn't recognize her because she straightened her hair and had a few curves--does not track. Especially as in the book, it said she wasn't very popular, but someone from their high school glanced at her in the library and instantly knew who she was? But her 4 closest friends didn't? I know it's needed for the plot, but I really struggled with that. The second point is the way the plot seemed to jump from point to point, ie. the bullying to end of the bullying, the rescue, etc. That said, I kind of get it. To flesh out a full book with 5 MCs and to also flesh out the plot, it would be a 1000 page book before we know it. So I think that's something that just may go hand in hand with Omegaverse novels. You have to lose some to gain elsewhere.
Again, the book was really well written. The MCs were all highly likable. It was a fun quick read on a Saturday night. The spice was spicing and for having to track 5 people, we weren't ending up with 12 elbows that just didn't make sense. Well done to the author on that.
I'm excited to keep reading this author and see what else is in the Hiddenverse.
