After all, they could just… go court women who want to leave home anyway. The characters of the book seemed to think that his people had the right to kidnap their brides against their will since 1, the men fight hard and necessary battles against monsters 2, they are alpha-type men who conquer and therefore should conquer the affections of a woman 3, they have no women in the clan and 4, SPOILER ALERT – they do have to give the women a choice to leave after a year (which was a pretty obvious twist).īut this was not a good enough reason to help me reach suspension of disbelief. I thought that the culture of Hollen, the love interest – namely, kidnapping the bride – made no sense. Let me start by putting down the one thing I disliked, the reason it’s four instead of five. Four out of five cats! This is a book where the “savage” tough guy who fights monsters kidnaps the beautiful protagonist as she’s on her way to an arranged marriage to a serial killer.
