Omega Revealed (Omegas of OAN Book 1) by Alexis B. Osborne

3 Stars

The writing and editing was pretty clean in the ARC version of the manuscript, with only occasional typos. The world building was quite good, with the sci-fi elements and limitations and injustices faced by omegas in this society richly drawn. The characterization was good, with the heroine and two heroes being sympathetic characters. The development of the romantic relationship was sweet and organic. Where this novel really failed was in the plot. As in, there wasn't any. I am a reader that reads a lot of sci-fi and fantasy romance, including a lot of omegaverse. I enjoy the adventure, suspense, and political maneuvering that takes place in space opera and fantasy romances. I was so excited to read this novel because it was sci-fi omegaverse with superheroes because I expected a lot of adventure and epic battles. This novel did not fulfill the promise of the premise for me. Plotwise, this novel reminded me of a sweet and slow contemporary romance. For a reader like myself, that meant I was bored for large chunks of this novel. This novel contained medium angst and low stakes. I prefer high stakes in my romance novels, so I did not particularly enjoy it. This novel used the One-Night Stand Turns into Forever trope and the Mating Bond trope. The world building was four stars. The plot and pacing were one star. The characterization and development of the romantic relationship were four stars. I therefore gave this novel a combined rating of three stars. This novel had a Happy Ever After ending instead of a cliffhanger, so that was a big plus. I recommend this story to romance novel readers who are mostly into novels about character and relationship development. I do not think I will read the next book by this author. I will not be buying myself a keeper copy of this novel.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
