The Malevolent Seven by Sebastien de Castell

Did not finish book. Stopped at 13%.
The only queer representation being a gay pedohile ticked me off, the “good guy” MC admiting to being attracted to a girl who was at most 17 grossed me out. The setting was bland mantasy slop and writing was edgy trying to hard to be witty Abercombie rip-off. 

Just bleh

The prose was better than expected compared to the average contemporary romance.  Not sure how to feel about the age gap. Like they’re both grown adults but damn why is it so hard/impossible to find a twink top/bigger bottom pairing that isn’t some age gap shenanigans.

Pain anguish agony. A rip roaring multiversal adventure the greatest battle ever!!!…until the next writer power scales the freak out of things again because comics baby! We gotta have that escalation. 

Some of my faves got done dirty. When will Robbie return home from war it’s been 3 year since this event for God’s sake bring him back!


A tangent and while not directly related to the writing/plot it was a point that greatly influenced my enjoyment. Basically I’m glad to see fat people not be treated horribly, chubby Steve was such a sweet and compassionate heroic guy and there was none of the tired fat tropes associated with him. Also Odin had a bit of beer belly which yay! Makes him actually physically distinct from Thor and not Thor but eye patch and longer beard.
