What happens when the Prince of the Celestial Realms answers a bundled summons attempt from a mortal warlock? You get Legion, a wildly different and original story by Rider Jacobs. The blurb does cover the basics of this darkly humorous tale, but to really appreciate it, you need to read it for yourself.The plot runs smoothly from beginning to end, and this character driven story is populated by one of the most colorful and very unusual cast of characters to ever rule the 29 realms. If you're expecting staid and dignified deities who rule with cold logic, you definitely won't find them here! Each one in this celestial crew is wild, crazy, loving, slutty, passionate, dark, and dangerous as any person in the "real" world. The backstory is solid and lays a great foundation for the storyline. The sex is a fascinating and hot mix of godly, physical, and just plain kinky that is anything but boring!The author's writing style is quirky, brash, darkly humorous, and has a touch of snark. The story does have a HEA ending, but it only comes when betrayal, brutality, and a near-death scare make Legion realize just what he has. I definitely enjoyed reading this story, and if you want a unique and original way to spend an hour or two, then this is a book for you.Review originally appears at Mrs Condit & Friends Read Books.
