Forbidden: Part One by Emilia Emerson
3.0
So this is my first time diving into omegaverse. I've been wanting to give it a try and wasn't sure where to start. I saw a clip on TikTok about this book and it intrigued me so I figured let's give it a shot.
The plot and world building is decent. The way this world works is what intrigued me first. We get a decent amount in the beginning and the end. But the main chunk of the book focuses on the FMC dealing with her massive amounts of trauma and distrust, and learning to accept the MMC's affections and good intentions. I do feel like, it kinda droned a bit. I kept waiting for more plot with the government and her family to come, but we really only got it in the beginning and then a smidge in the end. I'm really interested though to see how book two goes.
Next, I'm a big dark romance girly. I love all kinds of dark romance and I'm definitely more used to morally grey MMC or villainous ones. But it was very refreshing and different and fun to have three completely cinnamon roll MMC's. I love all the MMC, they all have different but complimenting personalities. I love how obsessed with the FMC they are, and how they treat her.
The FMC is a little hit and miss for me. I understand the insane amount of trauma and brainwashing she has been thru. But she spends about 80% of the book crying and at some point im like, ok lady, let's get on with it. I understand trauma takes time to heal, but the majority of this book was just her wallowing in her trauma and barely working towards getting out of it. Also she was subjected to a lot of fat shaming so she has zero confidence and is constantly belittling herself. I love when we get a plus size or not model thin FMC, but i do tire of the lack of confidence the FMC always have or how everyone is constantly talking about her body. Sometimes I wish the FMC could just exist with their bodies and it not be a plot point. Again, I understand why in this world, but still just personal pet peeve.
The spice is excellent. Again, it's my first intro into omegaverse so there was a lot to learn. It's new and exciting and I enjoyed it.
All in all I enjoyed the book. It was good. Im excited to read more and see how the book concludes
