King Maximilianus by P.E. Nylund
One of the things that stood out to me most about this book was how
refreshingly uncluttered it felt. So many
stories in this genre tend to get bogged down with repetitive dialogue or
overly drawn-out scenes, but this one moved with a clean, confident pace. I
never felt like I was treading the same ground twice, which made the reading
experience feel smooth, intentional, and surprisingly refreshing.
I’ve always had a deep respect for indie authors. Putting your work out into
the world, especially in a space as competitive and vocal as the shifter genre,
takes serious guts. And this author did more than just show up, they carved out
a niche. The choice to have the male lead narrate the story felt bold and
unexpected, and it really worked. It gave the narrative a fresh angle I don’t
often see in paranormal romance, and I appreciated that risk.
It’s also clear that the author made a genuine effort to flesh out each
character, not just the leads, but the supporting cast too. That said, I think
there’s room to push further, especially in terms of emotional development and
backstory. I found myself wanting to know more about the motivations behind
their actions, to dive deeper into their connections and relationships. The
chemistry was there; it just needed a little more time to simmer.
I’m especially hoping we get more focus on the female lead in the next book.
She has so much potential as a character, and I’d love to see her grow into a
stronger presence and voice in the story.
Overall, this was a solid and enjoyable read with plenty of heart and a
unique voice. It’s clear this is just the beginning of something bigger, and
I’m excited to see how it all evolves in the next installment.
