Publisher's Summary

Former Marine and lonely single dad Will Hawthorne just wants to clear his head with a weekend in the woods with his live-action-role-playing group.

But a careless misstep sends him tumbling through a cave into an alien world. There he finds a dying civilization of bizarre human-animal hybrids, filled with effete males and frustrated females who are soon pursuing him for their own ends.

For Will has stumbled into this world's most powerful legend - a legend of the one who will come to reverse its decline - the legend of the Makalang.

Contains mature themes.

Strong Start

I have no criticisms about the writing. Everything was on point. I just wish the the narration was dual narration. Having one male narrate all the characters isn't a deal breaker by any means, I just like my harem stories to be dual narrated if possible.

Another teenage wet dream story

I went into this eyes open. I realize the genre and enjoyed the book considering it was free. I would have preferred more story and less intimacy, the MC just goes from one place to another to gain a new wife and bed her that same day, then gives his other wives a turn too, and then another turn... It got long fast, no pun intended. Also the fact that he is irresistible to women, a rare breed, they are all stunned by the fact he exists and is all that... like I said in the title, a teenage wet dream.

there are 2 reasons for my rating. I would have preferred more buildup and more story, however what was supplied was good and an enjoyable read. The book does not really disappoint. Secondly, I really prefer dual narration in these types of books, a guy can only do so much when making women voices. At least the scenes are written up in such a way that it does not make you cringe, thank goodness and good job on that thank you. I've read much worse.

As for the remainder of the series, I would entertain the idea of continuing the read if it were bundled in packs of 2. I find that a book costing a credit being less than 6 hours is a hard sell. So I'm signing off on this one. Book 1 finished well for me and I'll leave it at that.

Hope this was helpful and enjoy the read if you go for it.
