2.5 stars.. tops.

Well, I didn't like this steter read a whole lot, and god knows it has nothing to do with taylorpotato's writing and characterisation skills. But instead all with this fic's premise. And I only have myself to blame for it. Because I knew that I really hate this werewolf/alpha/beta/omega premise. A lot. (And I know, hard to believe considering the amount of teen wolf fanfics I've been and still am reading..)

But, ya know, I am making a werewolf-related exception when it comes to TW fanfics -- which most of the time really isn't all that difficult (read: the opposite of that actually), because those fics have (almost) nothing in common with the much hated werewolf dynamic that is inherent in so many published books. All this mating stuff is only one of those things. The whole A/B/O trope, though? It's like my own personal archenemy.

And I knew that going in... The only reason I read this at all is because I love this author's other works to pieces and because it says in his end notes "Pretty much I hate most Omegaverse tropes, so I gutted them. Not even sorry." So I was cautiously hopeful...

And yep.. compared to more "serious" works of the A/B/O'verse this was, well, sufferable. He gutted it alright. But not enough imo. But then again, I think it's impossible to gut this trope enough when it comes to me. Which is the lesson I'm taking from this experience: staying as far away from all things omega'verse related as possible. For my own sanity. Because all that eye-rolling can't be healthy.

2.5 stars for this trope are like a glowing trophy with hearts from me. So kudos to Taylorpotato. ;) (Because in this case it really is me, not you.^^)
