6/9/2023 0 Comments Mind Magic by Poppy DennisonThis is the sequel to Body Magic and we see a lot of Simon and Gray in this – maybe even more than Rocky and Cade. But, even in terms of the over arching plot elements that tie the series together, this was so slow, and tedious, and could have been condensed into the first and third books instead. I can't say I really care much about Kade or Rocky, which probably is a large reason why nothing in this book seemed to matter. So that very small part of the story was at least something I legitimately liked. I will give it points for flipping the expectation on the roles, as I am always a fan of dominant omegas/smol bois, and submissive hulks. Aside from that, the standard pointless conflict that could be addressed by simply having a conversation is present, which just gets the usual eye roll. Can we learn to express lust and desire without hinting that the characters are only barely holding themselves back from literal assault? I hate it. This is a theme that I've come across again in my own fanfiction collaborations when I was a wee little 20 year old. Considering I tend to write essays for my reviews, the only note I have on this book is that Kade creeped my out when he talked about it being dangerous for Rocky to turn his back on him, because Kade can't control his sexual urges. Davies, but aside from nothing changing in quality from the first book, this one just comes across as excessively boring and feels more like filler. I still highly dislike the narration choices of Robert G.
