Reviews and Comments

I enjoyed this a lot, but it took me a long time to read. This was mainly because the main story, Stag Dance, was quite a hill to climb. I enjoyed it, but the setting and the language were a bit of a hurdle. My favourite story was "Infect your friends and loved ones", which works better than the novel that was inspired by it, Manhunt.

This was sold to me as "dark romance", in difference to Fourth Wing (romantasy). There aren't a lot of differences, I would say these two books fit perfectly in the same genre considering the amounts of fantasy, sex and love and type of sexual interaction. Maybe that will change with the second book, but I'm not sure I'll ever read it.

I read this only for research purposes and I'm afraid I need to read the next one in the series, purely for research purposes of course.

Had already a few giggles. The concept reminds me a lot of the wonderful TTRPG "Pigsmoke".

At this point, I'm already 2 hours in. The language was hard to grasp at the beginning, but that has either been smoothed or I have become better at grasping it. Very enjoyable, but I'm also glad I've read a goodreads comment where somebody explained what this is about (Buddha’s son Rahula).

In the very first chapters, there was already a scene where I pondered if this was going to be too brutal for me. But I think I'm hooked anyway.

I found this as an audiobook on an old HDD, quite mysteriously. The premise is fun, but most of the short stories are presented in form of fluffy newspaper articles, which I found a bit tiresome after a while. The last two or so stories aren't, and I enjoyed them more.
