Book Review
The following review was originally published by Tera on her Blog, A Succubi's Tale on January 10, 2025
The work begins with a chapter that focused on Lilith, a succubus, and her coming to the manor and getting settled. It’s interesting, there’s a really attractive personality to her and it did amuse me. There is actually a lot of storytelling and world building for such a short passage and it offered a lot. If the work had continued on with this theme, expanded on it and told more of Lilith’s story, I think it would have been amazing.
But the story abruptly closes and what follows for the rest of the work is a series of what reads very much like a collection of Wikipedia articles about succubi which have been retold in a more narrative form. That is done reasonably well, and there are points at which what otherwise could have been things told in a rote sort of way become something different.
There’s emotion, a bit of passion and a sense of each chapter wanting to be more than just sharing information. That is done, it’s interesting, but it doesn’t get back to the book summary and especially the story about Lilith and what otherwise could have been which is a shame.
Two and a half out of five pitchforks.
I wish the author had taken the first chapter about Lilith haunting a mansion and wrote a story around that instead of what this turned out to be. It’s odd, perhaps a bit lost and seeking something otherwise, and feels so very repetitive as well.
