Characters & Character Development ★★★★

I'm absolutely loving this story and the world building. This is definitely one of my favorite reverse harem series.

I love getting to see the perspectives of the guys. Shara is gaining more and more power, knowledge but she isn’t losing who she is or her integrity. I didn’t mind that there wasn’t a sex scene until about 25 to 30% into the story. I love the story line so much and all the planning that goes into taking over someone else’s territory. It confused me when the attack happened because I thought they were at Shara’s Mom’s house but then they were at the tower. And I didn’t realize everything on Shara’s end was happening in her head.

I felt like the end was abrupt as well as anticlimactic. I wish they could have gone back to her nest and everything. She’d made a big accomplishment and I feel like they could have gone home, celebrated, and talked about how the next thing is the triune.
