About this listen

Not Quite the Fairy Tale is a series of paranormal romance written for a mature audience. Expect adult language and naughty stuff. Each book is a stand-alone.

Kai, heir of the dilapidated clan who's established residence in the most dangerous mountain on Gaia to avoid persecution, has enough problem on his plate. For starters? Finding enough food. Lack of running water. Keeping the kids alive - and out of the slave trade.

The torrential snow.

But when he sees that innocent, defenseless girl who persists in staying in the cold wastelands all by herself, he can't close his eyes. She becomes his to care for.

Eira has spent the last 700 years asleep. Before that, she'd had a two-century-long nap. While she's occasionally awoken over the course of the last two millenniums, nothing has kept her interested long enough to stop her from going back to her long slumbers.

This time should have been no different; Eira returns to her lands, intending to go back to sleep, but damn Kai doesn't get the meaning of "leave me the hell alone".

She's the last full-fledged goddess residing in Gaia, and that mortal wishes to save her.

Men are stupid.

Re-listened. Changed the rating. Extremely creative but not terribly easy to follow. I do not like listening to ED, played her parts at significantly faster speed. The narrators switch back and forth in each chapter and I don't much like that because I have a harder time altering play speed.

So that happened because … ? Muddled mess

This was a head scratcher of a twisted fairy tale. Eida is a Greek goddess of snow who sleeps for centuries because? Kai is an elf prince who finds a girl in the frozen wilds and takes care of her because? Almost immediately, without knowing anything about each other, except that he wants to make babies, they have sex. It’s 30 seconds of clunky sex and then him reflecting that he came seventeen times (weirdly specific), and then him asking her to trust him as he ties her up, then fading to black for some bondage because?

This plays out like a hodgepodge of Greek myths and fairy tales … except there’s a passing reference to cars, so apparently this is urban fantasy. The “plot” is delivered in an info dump halfway in, and is something about gods and dimensions, and Eida being insta-jealous so Kai gets set up with
an insta-butt-orgy-test?! What the what?!

It doesn’t help that the narrators use two very different speeds, requiring constant adjustments between the two … or dealing with half the story told in a too slow, or too quick, fashion. It feels like these novellas were jotted down on toilet paper while the author tripped on acid in some nightclub’s restroom.
