Why is this so long? (that's what he said. ba dum tss.)

There had to have been a better way to plot this out to be less disjointed and weirdly POV'ed.

It was so repetitive for no reason. But mostly I just lost interest. 

Considering this one a soft DNF for now. The world was rich and atmospheric. The folklore was lovely. The comps to Howls Moving Castle were correct. But I haven't retained anything so it feels like I just need to try again later.

Only because I just realized that the Satisfiction edition is the indie manuscript and that I want to wait and pick up the trad edition in February (because I'm 99% certain there have been some additions in the updated one - like 50 ish pages worth!) 😆 So I will come back to this on release day because the vibes are immaculate 🥳

My fault! I set it down when I got caught up in audiobooks and it's been too long and now i need to start over but I WILL

No. My tolerance for tomfoolery is really low right now apparently.

Also, I just wanted a short smutty Krampus romance but this is a WHOLE book and I do not have it in me. 

No. I have changed my mind. I will not be reading this. The final straw:

“No.” His lashes lower, hooding his eyes. “I’m not talking about my personality. I’m talking about my cum.”

I don't know. I'm bored. It shouldn't feel like a chore to get through 121 pages.

I hate to do this but I don't think I'm in the right headspace for this one.

I've seen mixed reviews on this author from other monster romance readers and I may try another another book from her but this one is not working for me.  

There's nothing technically wrong with this book. But I kept getting bored and the fact the the MMC was a little too much bird for me just kind of sealed the deal. I'll be trying another book from the series.
