peristome 's review for:

Dasher by Lorelei M. Hart, Colbie Dunbar
DID NOT FINISH: 70%

Even though I'm so close to the end, I really don't want to finish this book. I found this series while browsing Kindle Unlimited and I thought it sounded fun and absurd, so I gave it a try. I must say, this wasn't what I was expecting, and I don't mean that in a good way. I was expecting all of Santa's reindeer to interact, but besides the main character (Dasher), not one of them has been mentioned, which is disappointing. 

The mate thing is also incredibly weird and rushed as well. They barely have time alone but are completely devoted to each other. I also think the omegaverse dynamics are weird. Humans apparently have them, as Byron acknowledges, but he (and other humans) don't know what mates are? And none of the other humans besides Byron are even, like, acknowledged to be A/B/O. It's just really weird. And it's barley relevant to the story as well. Which is probably a fault of the prose, which is horrible (sorry to say). The writing is incredibly stilted, and is riddled with factual and grammatical errors. It's just... serviceable in the worst way possible. Lots of conversations are skipped over and the timeline is hard to follow. This book needed an additional 100 pages just so it could make sense. 

I don't know, this didn't hit with me the way I wanted it to. I wanted it to be a goofy, silly time, but it's just boring. I wouldn't waste your time on this, there are much better shifter books out there.
