I tried to stick this one out, just the fact that the h can literally see images of the Hs screwing other women made me peace out hard. I'grand pitiful, but where's the fantastical element in a world where men are allowed to be promiscuous while women are expected to be pure? That'due south but life. And I don't read fiction - peculiarly fantasy fiction - to reinforce the societal norms of men having "needs" and women suppressing their urges in order to stay pure.

So, one solar day Airsha'a mother approaches her and tells her that, seeing every bit how Airsha is her father's (the king'due south) favorite girl, she will exist sacrificed for the greater good of the people. Information technology's a great laurels and she should be happy. Yeah, cheers, but no thanks.
There is something about being made a sacrifice past your own male parent that just makes you want to run. So she did.
I liked how Airsha questioned everything around herself. She did not do it in an abrasive kind of way, denying things only because. She did information technology in a way that meant she will non blindly believe in anything equally fact, needing to hear the counter arguments and run across some proofs and I liked that most her.
Nearly the guys. I know that they "felt the connection" between themselves from the kickoff, simply it did not compel anyone to proclaim their undying dearest for one another from the star, and for that I'm thankful. And I know we're kind of not supposed to have favorites here, just mine would totally be Calun. At that place'due south something most that silent human. And I dear that connection he has with Airsha.
Just, okey, allow'southward address this issues, because someone has to.
"Girls are fragile, emotionally volatile creatures who would be damaged, and might damage others, if they were allowed to accept magic. They are not every bit physically strong as males, who were better equipped to protect, so it was all-time to leave the fighting to them. Is it non dainty to feel protected?"
Well. Someone would definitely be damaged if they told me this load of crap.
And, come up one, if a girl is plant to take magic, she is to be castrated .
The amount of "what the fuck"south going through my head during those outset few chapter were similar you wouldn't believe.
The story has captured my attention from the start, though information technology did not managed to concur on to it. The terminal fifty pages dragged on and I was bored out of my mind.
Then, yeah, some parts of the story were good, some were completely ridiculous (like, allow's get rid of your virginity, pulling straws as to who you'll practise information technology with, and so send a letter to the male monarch telling him about it. Why not simply simply ship a alphabetic character? It's not like anyone will know whatsoever better). Merely, overall, information technology wasn't bad and I desire to see how the story plays out afterwards on.
Speaking of - I was a huge fan of the fact that the author, Nhys Glover, didn't gloss over the gritty details (for example, the MC'south thoughts about what to do with bodily functions equally she traveled in the back of a wagon for days on terminate...or the grit and dirt that would naturally
This ane an interesting one to me. It incorporates both the traditional harem and the contrary harem, all in the same world (fantasy setting). The whole is intriguing, well-drawn, well-written, and enough gritty and dark.Speaking of - I was a huge fan of the fact that the author, Nhys Glover, didn't gloss over the gritty details (for example, the MC'due south thoughts almost what to do with bodily functions as she traveled in the back of a wagon for days on stop...or the dust and dirt that would naturally be part of a farm setting). It really grounded (no pun intended) her world in a realism that far besides many books lack. Especially the paranormal romances that are written for escapism. It is rare that they don't shine off all those real world edges.
There was too some pretty nighttime content here as I recollect, and a set of harem members that are not only diverse but are definitely outside the usual RH mold - huge age diverseness and damaged and scarred individuals. But it all worked in the context of the circuitous earth that Glover congenital. (Though I can't say I was particularly into whatever of them, unfortunately)
That said, I oasis't managed to keep the series past this first book, perhaps in function because of that gritty realistic detail. It is lacking that complete escapism I have been seeking recently.
There is no denying, yet, that this is an engrossing, immersive, visceral read (and globe), and is well worth the time and endeavor. I look forward to returning to this one twenty-four hour period, when I am looking for a solid, gritty fantasy (that happens to have my favorite RH thrown in).
Note: I read this one a while ago, so some of the details escape me.

I liked Aisha despite her stubbornness. She is an intelligent woman with spirit, nonetheless she continued to believe the sexist teachings of her upbringing. Once she threw away her one-time life, information technology seemed like she would be more than open up to new ideas. I liked the men. The brotherly bond and rebellious nature was endearing. The connections seemed rushed at times, merely overall the relationship worked for me. I similar the political turn that the book took and expect forward to watching Airsha and the men balance family unit with the fight confronting the Godling in the adjacent volume.

Very good kickoffThis was a very good beginning to the trilogy. I took off one star solely because the MC in the last 3/4 of the story was acting like a spoiled child with fingers in her ears yelling nah, nah, nah in order to not hear the truth being spoken. She was in denial for an extreme despite so much evidence to the contrary. And she really did this near several things. Accepting her guys, who she really is, denying her talents and walking abroad from her destiny. Which was a little disappointing, as in the beginning she showed and then much depth and wisdom. Then suddenly, boom she'south a child. At the cease she finally came out of it and I actually hope she doesn't revert. I admittedly loved every one of her guys. They were all so well fleshed out and private. I love the story and plot. It's a unique world the author has created, although all the lunds struck me as strange. Anyway, overall this is shaping up to be a great z Tory and I look forward to the next book.

Fun RH! I actually like the fantasy setting and earth building. I feel like I got a fully fleshed out fantasy world with backstory and mythology, which is rare these days. It was a little fast-paced, merely I loved all of the characters and wanted more of them. Airsha was a strong, intelligent woman who went for what she wanted and each of the guys in the harem has his own personality and story. Smashing read!
The Cede has everything yous could ask for in a Paranormal Reverse Harem; adventure, magic, humour, strong female lead and most of import four great guys to fall in dear with! The story was engaging, and I was able to connect with the characters. Thankfully this was a full book and not brusque like allot of the reverse harem serials that have been released recently. I am looking frontward to the next installment.
However, I won't give information technology 5 stars because the story seems to focus on sex a trivial also much and everything happened just also early on (they knew each other barely a day and they already got concrete). Only that is my personal preference -I savour slow-burn romances (well by and large) ;)

Nevertheless, I won't give it v stars because the story seems to focus on sexual activity a little too much and everything happened just besides early (they knew each other barely a 24-hour interval and they already got physical). Simply that is my personal preference -I enjoy slow-burn romances (well mostly) ;)
As well, the heroine was suddenly this "all-knowing" goddess who isn't allowed to fight fifty-fifty though that was initially everything she loved to do. Although reasons for that were mentioned, I think it'due south a pity.
I really enjoyed the world this author created! I loved the characters and I will definitely be reading the side by side book in the series 💕
A jolly skilful reverse harem read. A well developed fantasy globe with hierarchy and beasts, action packed and steamy too! Definitely a book to go into. 🎏💚
I couldn't put it downward. I neglected everything until I could end. Then glad I found this book. It was a very refreshing read. Can't wait to read what happens next.

A very slow start soo dull at least for a wasn't sure I was going to like it.... and so much info at times, all just from Airsha'southward pov,which as 1st was far more than inner monologue than outer dialogue,and that's a definite pet peeve of mine... merely once she escaped the Harem and found her men, I stared to finally detect my p,ace in the story...
I loved the idea that this immature sheltered woman had the brains and the guts to strike out in her own and not except the fate her evil heartless has planned for her,what got me was at around 1/2 way thru nearly it was like we lost our dauntless immature adult female for a while for a stupid reckless martyr willing to die, partly information technology felt to relieve those she loved and partly because she just seemed tired of the struggle....
Thankfully her men loved her to much to let her foolishness succeed,I was relieved and thrilled by that !!!
Just just as my Wooooooooohoooooooo!!! Was dying downward, she decided to frustrate me yet over again by showing everyone and their blood brother, only how pigheaded and stubborn ,about to the bespeak to stupidity she could exist...
Honestly ?!? I wanted yet again to shake her or slap her, now sure she was being told all she'd been raised to believe was either fake,lies or misconstrued to fit ability,greedy godlunds wants but the way she was soo expressionless prepare confronting her new role in the world, near pathologically soo ?!?
I mean the just knew she was right and didn't desire to be wrong and DIDN'T want to hear annihilation to the contrary , I was starting to dislike her for her attitude on that ....
Sure accepting all she was being told would be/was scary and over whelming but if she just been willing to have an open up heed and look at information technology the least bit logically, it just made soooo much sense,looking at her life and all the things that had happened to her... merely deep sigh, for the longest she did everything to deny it all most merely stick her fingers in her ears while she screamed lalalalalalalalala at the meridian of her voice ...
Honestly, I simply honey a string h who owns who she is regardless the romance genre ( PNR, contemporary, steam punk, Time travel, historical,menage,cowboys to bosses,to billionaires to war machine ) I want her to own it, regardless of her historic period or station in life or hair color or skin colour and powerful ,seeming weak or meek and especially if she doesn't fit the "normal" standards " for dazzler ( especially then) ( I don't care if she'southward ten pounds over weight or 100) I desire her to own who she is and exist proud!!
Because she'due south telling me to do the same when she does and even when what your reading is nothing merely pure escapism at its all-time we all demand to be reminded of that ....
Sometimes daily ... but past the end I was loving it all en the times I wanted to bop her upside the head...
Shame she could meet what soo many of them needed like Rama,Calun and Jaron ( sadly she didn't spend equally much fourth dimension with Darkin as the other 3) she never had lonely time with Darkin for more than a few moments , but the knew what they needed and gave it,sadly she seemed more often than not blind westward/herself ...
Loved it, works highly recommend information technology, only would honey less words w/ ling or lund too many words had that at the end and Kinglund, godlund, childlings, clifflings , beastlings , aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
I soo wanted to scream "MAKE Information technology Terminate"!!!!!
But loved it and can't expect for more ;)
Airsha, twin to Airshin and favourite daughter of the Godling.
Holder of Air Magic where her blood brother has none! All daughters of the Godling who show magic are castrated which binds off their magic! Just Airshin's half sister, Mina holder of Fire Magic, died from the castration (at least that was the story). And then Airsha has locked down her magic to stay prophylactic.
But at present her time is upwards for the priests Wow! I've been waiting and wondering what would be next for Nhys Glover and this has blown my socks off!

Only at present her time is up for the priests take declared that the only way to bring back magic to the sons is for the favourite virginal daughter to be sacrificed.
Airsha refuses to have her fate and, dressed as a immature boy, she makes her escape. Unfortunately, or fortunately as things turn out, she misjudged the length of the journey and ends up more than dead than live in the Badlunds rather than on the declension.
She is taken in by four brothers, Darkin and Rama; and Calun and Joran, who are airling trainers and riders.
With them she finds peace and dearest.
Just her father does not stop looking for her and the inevitable happens. Things then go from the frying pan into the fire and Airsha's stubbornness in all things comes to the forefront.
She questions why a human being can accept a harem but non a adult female?
Especially since she loves each of her men for different facets of them. They too love her and would be jealous if she picked i of them over the others.
I accept never been comfortable with menage situations just Nhys handles this so beautifully that it seems natural.

InterestingOnce you become past the linguistic communication deviation- the luds, the lings and how they apply to people, territories and beings; it becomes easier to read. The beginning seems to be a bit Scheherazade like with her wanting to escape death and harem life. Life structure seems to be a sort of Middle Eastern version of a fiefdom. In that location is the Godling, ruler over all the other kinglings. Lud applies to lands, sealud, Godlud, and so along. Like I said, a linguistic communication issue. But once yous figure it out the story flows.
Airsha learns of her father's ruling that she be sacrificed to bring dorsum his waning powers. Since she is young and has never desire to die she decides to escape the harem she and the other women (40 wives and at least as many female children that haven't been married off or killed) live in. Her mom beingness a dutiful wife and her brother a thoughtless jerk, she decides to do this on her own. After nearly dying in her attempt she comes to the attention of 4 brothers. Subsequently her brief taste of freedom they realize that dear one-time dad isn't virtually to give upwardly his throne and power without a fight and Airsha decides to attempt to save the guys by beingness a martyr and turning herself in. Dad, in a homicidal rage, decides that since she has been (gasp) sullied he'll just take her killed as a alarm to others and merits she'due south demon possessed. Just as things seem darkest rescue arrives. More than than just her 4 loves, in that location's a rebellion and a prophecy. According to this prophecy, she has a bigger role than just trying to stay alive, and that'southward already proving to be tough plenty.
I liked this. I like kick butt heroines and Airsha learned how to fight. Fifty-fifty locked in a harem she discovered how to escape on her own. She'south watchful, and patient, and above all adamant. She didn't go looking for the fight just she won't dorsum down from it. Running got her nowhere. She's not afraid of her loves and even though the way she goes about it was looked at sideways she follows her eye and thumbs her nose at them.

**As well, I disagree with some of the other opinions I read. I don't believe the character was wishy washy. She was naiive, sheltered, dislocated, overwhelmed and unprepared at times during the book. She did what she felt was right, based on circumstances and her ain life experiences. I thought her moments of uncertainty made her more realistic. **

Nhys is an Australian instructor/trainer, historian,international presenter, life coach and, oh yeah... the author of more than than a dozen novels, most of which are sensual romances (some more sizzling than others)in the sub-genres she loves to read herself - Time Travel, SF/Fantasy, Historical, and paranormal.History has e'er been her passion (although trying to laissez passer that passion onto High Schoolhouse students kind of took the shine off it for a lot of years) and there are places and times she is constantly drawn back to in her writing.

Although Nhys has been a writer since she could hold a pencil to paper, it has only been since the Indie Revolution and ebooks that she'southward made the attempt to get her writing out of the bottom draw and into the easily of readers. When her historical novel 'The Barbarian's Mistress' was downloaded 16,500 times over v days in February 2013 she knew that writing was about to get from role-time passion to full-time obsession.
A globe traveller and rolling stone nearly of her life, Nhys now lives and writes full-time in the cute Yorkshire Dales of England.
