Origin by Chloe Adler

4 Stars

This novel was well written and edited, with no typos that I could discern. The characterization was top-notch, particularly of the heroine. I was deeply sympathetic toward and rooting for this heroine. The world building was interesting without being drawn with a heavy hand. The plot and novel setup was really interesting and I really enjoyed the fact that it was something a little different than what I usually read. I would have to say that the weakest part of the novel was the development of the romance between the heroine and the three heroes. By the end of the novel, I had not really bought into their love and commitment to each other. Part of that may be because the page count was really too low to thoroughly build a believable romantic arc between four main protagonists. That is one of the biggest challenges facing writers of reverse harem romances. An enjoyable romance with a different creative premise that I enjoyed and a heroine that I also really enjoyed.

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