Book Review
The following review was originally published by Tera on her Blog, A Succubi's Tale on June 16, 2019
Lisa makes a choice and at the time it seemed to be a reasonable one. The problem becomes however that unreasonable things can happen around incubi and trying to understand why they happen is a battle onto itself.
The work is a very complicated story of self-discovery and doubt mixed with the trials of relationships and how complicated that becomes when incubi are involved. There is also quite a lot of mystery that slowly becomes untangled as the story progresses, eventually leading to a point where the main characters have to come to terms with each other and what they have done.
There’s really very little in the way of erotica, there are some points at which the main characters become intimate, their passions appear and it’s really well told. But the erotica isn’t the point as the story really focuses on the two main characters and their development. This isn’t anything simple and it takes many, many pages to get to a point where both can find some understanding. Still, with how the story ends, it’s a shame that it didn’t follow through to a conclusion that worked well.
Achilles, the main incubus character, as well as the other incubi that appear, are deeply flawed and troubled personalities. How that develops over the course of the story is something of a confused mess, but that’s within the characters themselves for the most part. Achilles, and others, are not evil or stereotypical, but there are some which are, for a purpose, which bothered me a bit.
Two and a half out of five pitchforks.
As much as the story is interesting, there are two issues that cause problems. The first is that the story is incomplete, ending in something of a cliffhanger that really isn’t so much one. The other is that the story has commentary at the end of each chapter as if it was being written to a forum or blog post before being directly copy and pasted into the work that has appeared. There’s a lot of work needed to bring this towards the story it really needs to be.
