House of Malak

Holy Moly amazeballs! If I was living somewhere in a dystopian future, where glimpses in human mind were possible, I'd love to see a moment of the inner workings of your beautiful mind where so many magnificent worlds co exist together. How is this possible, I'll never know but let's return back to what we know - your originality, flawless writing, intriguing world building, depth of your characters. I haven't read the rest of the Harem project books, only House of Malak but it wasn't an issue to sink into the story and enjoy it with all my senses. I'll continue to repeat that, one of the things I love the most about your books is the wide arc of characters, simultaneously developing on page; all the micro stories that perfectly align and merge into the big frame of the main story line. The second thing that made an impression is the slow burnish vibe - yes, this was like the “mother” of slow burn romance but with everything happening in the book, that actually helped me to focus on the characters and all the intricate details of this complex, multi layered world of wonders. I didn't miss the heat at all because the intimacy and warmth of meaningful connections was like a glowing, compelling beacon in the dark. In this world where polycules and large families are a norm, Tatum found herself tethered to a really wonderful group of men. All of them so different but complimenting each other perfectly as a match. What I loved the most was her fierce, passionate personality, her emphatic nature and devotion to her duties.
Last but not least important, I truly loved the easy way they merged as a polycule - no internal drama, no questioning of right and wrong, just acceptance and open, honest communication.
