Review: Don't expect a lot of H/h action

This is a short story. If you're reading strictly for the kink/sex scenes, you may like this okay. Not that it's very kinky, just more than m/f. If you're reading it for some hot H/h interactions, you will likely be disappointed. The opening scenes have good atmosphere, then the author begins throwing in meaningless scenes to cover a multiple kinks and world-build. The effect was distracting and sacrificed interactions between H/h in the process. Once our heroine is taken to "gargoyleland", which is quickly, there is a scene with her being bathed by several female servants and some touchy-touchy is thrown in. Didn't really contribute anything and wasn't hot, particularly since the heroine is straight. Then she is carted off to serve the king (why do they always have to be kings?. The king allows his second in command to participate, a scene that came off as rather obligatory instead of a natural flow to the story. It minimized the interaction between H/h. By this time I'm getting frustrated with the storyline. The story then moves to the king holding court and a lot of tedious political posturing is included. By this time my patience with the story begins to run out. The ending is utterly forgettable. Really, I can't remember, it's that nebulous.The author tried to throw too much extraneous stuff into the story - as if getting jinky with a gargoyle isn't interesting enough......
