Even Tyank's part in it feels flat and half-hearted. I'm just disappointed and going to pretend it doesn't exist in the series. Submission is a gift, not something forced and taken. So with Renard's portrayals of female relationships, and her apparently finding feminists ridiculous, and her really missing the mark on d/s sexual relationships Author Renee Rose gets this one right: ladies, find yourself a progressive dom. Patriarchy loves making us hate each other and focus our energies there to distract us and drain us from making any real progress in the world. This is why we can't have nice things, and why nothing ever changes. And people are terrified and turning to fascism to make themselves feel secure.īut the worst part of this book was also a repeat of an issue in IHPZ: when two women are in close quarters, the bitches just can't get along, will break into cat fights, and will throw each other under the bus every chance they get. The beatings will continue until moral improves.ĭelivered during a pandemic when hundreds of thousands of people have died in a short period of time and there's rising tensions and violence being stoked and goaded.
The messaging in HPP is pretty gross, especially given the environment it was written in and released in: humans need to fear pain and possible death to behave. I think he might only be capable of passion and possession, two things which might approximate love, but do not comprise it. And the social commentary wasn't as spot-on and sharp as it usually is. The jokes just didn't land-there's an entire book of Karen jokes, and how is it appropriate to have female freedom fighters written off as Karens-and were lacking. This whole book feels like going through the motions and lacks the heart the others in the series possess. (Not surprising as LR's whole schtick is Bratty Heroines, so they usually have maturity issues.) John is not an enjoyable scythkin to read (I think he's my least favorite of the batch I would even go so far as to say I actively dislike him), and Itch is very repetitive in her thought process, which is shallow and juvenile. The first third or so is, frankly, a snooze. Renard that have left a really sour taste in my mouth. Things I thought were flukes in that book, I'm realizing seem to be by design and hint at some really ugly misogynist beliefs in Ms. This book had similar issues to number 2 in the series, Interstellar Human Petting Zoo. If I didn't value my Kindle, I would have chucked it a few times in the final third of the book.
I really love the Possessive Aliens series and usually enjoy these a lot and laugh the whole time but.this one? I didn't laugh so much and a lot about it makes me angry.
