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

2.5

2.55⭐️ rounded up. 🌶️🌶️.5 spice level.

Idk about this one for me y’all. Lemme start off by saying I love it dark. I love pitch black MMC’s, I love fairytale retellings, and I go crazy for some reverse harem. 

The MMC’s lacked depth for me, and so did the FMC in my honest opinion. Not much character development going on, but Baze, I think I like him a little bit. I feel like I’m going to read the next one since this one was so short and easy, but somethin’ just wasn’t hittin’. The smut was there tho, I’ll give it that. It gets pretty freaky but…. again something was lacking there. 

Reverse Harem
Peter Pan Retelling
Fantasy Setting w/ slight dash of magic.
Group Scenes
Dark
Easy to read/fast paced 

If that sounds like it’s for you then I would have a go at it yourself and form your own opinion! Mine is subjective of course and I do feel like Nikee’s writing did flow pretty well.
