Book Review
The following review was originally published by Tera on her Blog, A Succubi's Tale on October 13, 2017
We meet Jimmy at the library as he goes in search of a manuscript and in doing so he introduces us to his personal fantasy, a librarian named Sheila. Through her he gets access to an old book that contains the spell to summon a Succubus… and eventually he does so.
Through the short story, and it is quite short, we learn a little about Jimmy and the Succubus, before he makes a choice and the story ends. Far too soon. I expected from the outline of the story and the things that Sheila says to him at the beginning of the tale that she would be a central character in some way, but really she’s only seen for a moment and then we don’t see her again. That bothered me because the way she acted around him and the things she said, I expected her to more than what she was.
And that was disappointing. I thought it would make for a nice twist in the story, but no, that wasn’t where it went. As the story is a short flash of erotica, there isn’t a lot of character development nor is there really much of a plot to follow. It could have been double the length easily, and that would have helped to make the work better by explaining some facts that are revealed about Jimmy. It also might have allowed Sheila to make more of a mark in the story.
I think it would have really been an interesting aspect of the story to read and it was only touched in ever so slightly. The story was rushed, but it is a flash so you expect that. The dialogue seemed off somehow and it could have used a bit more polish before it appeared out in the world to be read I think. Needed to be longer, more story, and proofed by an editor just a little bit. Not much, but there’s little points that just need fleshing out.
Overall, it’s the ending that gave me pause. It’s so open ended, so asking for what comes next by far. Somehow it feels like a bit of a cop out and it shouldn’t have been so. I still think that there is room for expansion of this universe, especially when it comes to Sheila and her relationship with Jimmy. I’d also like to see what the succubus would have to say about it and more so, what Jimmy will do as a result of what happens to him in the story.
Three pitchforks out of five.
I’m still waiting for a series to come from this work, really there needs to be one. Ending things in the way they were just doesn’t work for me. The mystery is still to unfold and that part of the story is what’s missing, needing to be explored. It would be nice to see… sometime.
