I used to be the blogger called YAL Book Briefs, but I grew bored of the handle and changed my name to Howdy YAL. I also respond to MJ. I like to read, write, eat truffles, and watch bad Lifetime movies.
Sorry, I don't think this book and I would get along. Here are some of the reasons:1)Racist Implications: I'm sorry calling your oppressed class pearls while calling your other classes amber and coals rings alarm bells off in my head. Why? Pearl is suppose to be a precious gem, I get what that's implying book and I don't like it. Plus, there's the use of black face. Do I even need to discuss why this is wrong?2) Bestiality: Okay, so he's not a total animal it says beast man. But still, the MC is attracted to a beast man who I imagine looking like some sort of Big Foot creature. And yeah, there are plenty of PNR books where the MC is attracted to another species. But usually that's when the PNR love interest is in human form. 3) Sexist Implications: Having to be mated by ones eighteenth birthday. Do I need to even go there what happened to feminism and being an independent woman?So no me and this book would not work.Update: So I've been approved by NG. I think I might give it a try only because I want to prove Foyt wrong that isn't just the cover of the book that drives me bat shit insane. Note, though I'm probably going to be half drunk when I read it. I think it's the only way I can possibly be able to read it without giving myself a concussion.
