The Arabis Triad by Charmaine Ross

3 Stars

The writing and editing of this novel was somewhat rough, with multiple typos per page in the ARC version of this manuscript. The world building was okay, but not especially vibrant. The characterization of this novel was competent, with both the heroine and the three heroes being sympathetic individuals. The development of the romantic relationship was okay, but not particularly romantic. The plot and pacing was the best part of this novel, being exciting and moving along at a good clip. This novel contained low angst and high stakes. This novel contained the Fated Mates trope, and also the Chosen One trope common to fantasy novels. The plot and pacing were four stars. The world building was two stars. The characterization and development of the romantic relationship was three stars. Therefore, the combined score for this novel was three stars. This novel ends on a Happy Ever After ending instead of a cliffhanger, so that is a big plus to this series. I recommend this story as a Kindle Unlimited checkout by readers who enjoy reverse harem sci-fi romances with HEA endings that are a quick read for a waiting room or the bathtub. I do not plan to buy myself a keeper copy of this novel. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
