Summary
My role as Moric—ruler of a small and prosperous fiefdom in a quiet corner of the world—has always been painfully dull and stifling。
Until a beautiful， otherworldly creature with pink skin and a mane of golden hair falls through a strange void that has appeared in my guestroom。
And I am instantly captivated by him。
I have never seen anything like him。 I have no idea where he came from， and what else is through that unsettling void—another world filled with soft-skinned， defenceless creatures like him？ No tails， no horns， no claws， no sharp teeth。 Tiny clothing， rounded ears， bright blue eyes。 He is fascinating。 And I want to keep him。
But I have no idea how my citizens and councillors will react to his presence—to the knowledge that a whole other world exists， and there is a portal to it in my guestroom。 As much as I try to keep him my secret， the truth starts to slip out。
And those in my fiefdom who cling desperately onto power do their best to tear us apart。 To take him from me。
I won’t let them。

3。5I really don't know how to rate this。 So yeah。 I loved most of it， but I despised a good chunk of it too。 Maybe "despised" is the wrong word， but Lily Mayne chose a few tropes that， in my world， have no place in a romance novel。But yeah。 First of all， the good:The first 60% of "Lor" was absolutely lovely。 A bit slow maybe， but I still loved it。 I adored the monster world setting: it was so fascinating and so clever。 I also loved the whole cast of main and side characters。 I admit， Jugs remain 3。5I really don't know how to rate this。 So yeah。 I loved most of it， but I despised a good chunk of it too。 Maybe "despised" is the wrong word， but Lily Mayne chose a few tropes that， in my world， have no place in a romance novel。But yeah。 First of all， the good:The first 60% of "Lor" was absolutely lovely。 A bit slow maybe， but I still loved it。 I adored the monster world setting: it was so fascinating and so clever。 I also loved the whole cast of main and side characters。 I admit， Jugs remained a bit underdeveloped as a MC because most of the story is told through Lor's POV and because of *insert spoilery， despicable trope here* reasons。Lor was a wonderful protagonist though and I LOVED him: he's so sweet and insecure and shy and endearing and lovely。 I loved being in his head。 And all the side characters？ Absolutely iconic。 Lyri already owns my soul and I cannot wait to read his book and discover his adventures and how， precisely， he ends up meeting Cat。 All the other characters were equally precious！ We meet a lot of new monster species too， and I wonder about a certain sneaky， giant， warmongering bastard。I also loved seeing the monster apocalypse from the monster's world point of view and I'm so excited to see what will happen after that last chapter。Why 3。5 stars then？If there's one thing I despise in my romances is （view spoiler）[ time jumps and the agonizingly horrific "seperated for years and years because of *reasons*" trope。 I hate it so， so much。 It makes me angry， frustrated and unspeakably sad。 Lor spends THIRTY YEARS without Jugs， because he's in a stasis， TEN YEARS without Lyri and I hated every moment。 It was so， so unfair and so cruel。 I understand that， from a series-wide plot point of view， it makes sense。 This way， Lor and Jugs' story joins up with the rest of the monstrous couples' stories and especially， Lyri and Cat's。 But I still hated it。 I skimmed a good 30% of the book: I couldn't wait to be finished。 So yeah， that was disappointing。 （hide spoiler）]I still loved good chunks of "Lor"， and of course， the last few chapters where we finally get to witness their much-awaited HEA。I'm still BEYOND excited to read Lyri's book: I honestly can't wait， especially considering what happens in that last chapter。 。。。more

Mabs sake！ This one gave me all the feels。 I was laughing， crying， steaming and internally screaming。 Did I even think there would be an 80’s influenced male whole shared a story with a beautiful blue monster？ Nope， but I am sooooo happy we got one。 This was everything I never knew I need in my life。 I’m so happy to have read Lor and Jugs story。 It’s getting harder and harder to have favorites in this series when all of the characters are amazing。 I cannot wait for the next one！！

The book is pretty much just 3/4 porn and 1/4 actual plot that doesn't really pick up until the end。 That being said， it's very well written porn so。。。 Either way it's different from the others in the series， but still adds to the main plot a little。 It was cool to see how the monsters' world works。 The book is pretty much just 3/4 porn and 1/4 actual plot that doesn't really pick up until the end。 That being said， it's very well written porn so。。。 Either way it's different from the others in the series， but still adds to the main plot a little。 It was cool to see how the monsters' world works。 。。。more

This boon easily trumps the rest of the books in the series， there is just a more romantic tension between the two main characters （which both have great character in their own right - dual pov is always the right way to go）， a retro vibe （I love the 80s） and a "I will wait forever on you" trope - it's not explained particularly how it's happened and the poisoning is a bit obvious but nonetheless it was fun （？ I cried） and made me feel things。 It really explored the world the characters were in This boon easily trumps the rest of the books in the series， there is just a more romantic tension between the two main characters （which both have great character in their own right - dual pov is always the right way to go）， a retro vibe （I love the 80s） and a "I will wait forever on you" trope - it's not explained particularly how it's happened and the poisoning is a bit obvious but nonetheless it was fun （？ I cried） and made me feel things。 It really explored the world the characters were in since it was from that world in the first place and an explanation of the monsters appearing in the first place which sater my curiousity。 They are my fav couple so hopefully they will appear a lot in the next book as well。I feel this book evenfoted from being slightly chunkier as well so everything was more fleshed out and not being smut centric， though there was a lot of that when they actually got together （which I gladly skipped #sexrepulsed） but moving at a more reasonable pace for a relationship。 The familial relationship was a bit rushed and I would've liked a bit more reflection after he woke up at the end but that's not the end of the world。 。。。more

This book was honestly just a lot of fun - with lots of golden retriever/himbo energy！ Lor and Jugs were a fun couple， and the set up was done so well that I didn’t mind the almost insta-love connection that the two had。 Set in the 80s up until modern day， the book gives us a little bit of a glimpse into the monster world both before and after the tear opened and how Lor’s particular corner of the world is set up and all the politics involved in that。 We already had a glimpse of Lor’s fiefdom in This book was honestly just a lot of fun - with lots of golden retriever/himbo energy！ Lor and Jugs were a fun couple， and the set up was done so well that I didn’t mind the almost insta-love connection that the two had。 Set in the 80s up until modern day， the book gives us a little bit of a glimpse into the monster world both before and after the tear opened and how Lor’s particular corner of the world is set up and all the politics involved in that。 We already had a glimpse of Lor’s fiefdom in the Wyn novella， and Wyn （ever the grump） was not very complementary of Lor！ In this book we get the background and the build up of not only Lor’s relationship with Jugs but also what the story is with Lyri and Cat - two characters that have cast a shadow over the series for the last couple of books， and the taster we get at the end is enough to drive you crazy waiting！ I cannot wait to see what the future holds for our monster gang。 For Jugs and Lor， some of their relationship is built on a lot of convenient plot devices， but there is a real sweetness between the two of them that I just adored。 There is an element of comfort that the two provide each other that remains steadfast throughout the book， and even when they turn romantic that comfort and trust is the core of their relationship。 Jugs is a big ol’ himbo and gives off such a fun energy， even with quite a bit of trouble in his backstory。 It is a bit convenient how it all worked out to allow him to move to the monster realm in the first place， but honestly when you’re reading it you can give the book a lot of leeway。 For Lor I don’t know what the author fully wanted from his character - he works best as one of the heroes in romance focused book with light details， but there was this persistent framing of him as almost a political fantasy hero， which missed the mark as we just weren’t given enough background and world building for it to fully work - the light political thriller aspects we got in the book/world really work best as a frame for the romance。 The book really shines in the romance between Lor and Jugs and the angonising angst that was the time jump to the current day - poor Lor deserves the world！ 。。。more

Liked this one a lot more than I thought I would。 The series is post-apocalyptic。 This one is a prequel to the series。 Really fun to get this perspective。 There is language barrier with an unknown language。 It's really cool how she plays with words and they still make sense。 Liked this one a lot more than I thought I would。 The series is post-apocalyptic。 This one is a prequel to the series。 Really fun to get this perspective。 There is language barrier with an unknown language。 It's really cool how she plays with words and they still make sense。 。。。more

Dnf at 280。。。。I have loved the rest of the series （besides book 6）， but this story did not interest me。 I found it to be too slow。 The politics were actually really interesting and voice issues with poverty and racism both socitieal and within the government。

LOR was another excellent addition to the MONSTROUS series and I loved that we got to see more of the monster world as well as what happened for the monsters when the voids to the human world opened。 Lor and Jugs were both really likable characters and they were both such soft， sweet people。 They were both lonely in their own ways but against all odds they found a connection with each other。 I also thought it was really interesting to see monsters discovering humans for the first time because so LOR was another excellent addition to the MONSTROUS series and I loved that we got to see more of the monster world as well as what happened for the monsters when the voids to the human world opened。 Lor and Jugs were both really likable characters and they were both such soft， sweet people。 They were both lonely in their own ways but against all odds they found a connection with each other。 I also thought it was really interesting to see monsters discovering humans for the first time because some of Lor's interpretations and assumptions about Jugs and humans were pretty entertaining。 All of the monster romance I've read in the past has had monsters that are already aware of humans so this made for a nice change of pace。While LOR was still plenty spicy it also had a softer feel to the romance because both Jugs and Lor are such cinnamon rolls and they both care so deeply。 They fall quickly for each other but their journey is not easy。 This was a long read because it covers a lot of time， starting 20 years before the monsters crossed over and then eventually catching up to the events of the last book， SERPAH。 Lor especially goes through a lot of emotional trauma throughout this book and my heart was breaking for him。While I loved most of LOR， I do feel like the separation for Jugs and Lor was unnecessarily long and went well past what was reasonable。 It felt too much like trauma for the sake of trauma and not because it actually added anything to the story。 That being said， I am glad that we got a good number of chapters after their reunited so that we could see them healing as a couple after everything they went through。I can't wait to read Lyri's story （Lor's brother） and see what happens next in this series！Content Warning: past death of a parent; unexplainable illness; grief and depression- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Favorite Quotes:Releasing his hand， I splayed my trembling fingers over his chest。 “My heart is in here now。 Not with me。 I will be empty without you。”- - - - -Lifting our joined hands， he pressed my fingertips to his mouth—to the ring piercing his lower lip。 “This means that I will never want anyone else。 My mouth will never touch another。 I will never speak ill of you。 Your name is the first thing I want to pass my lips every morning and the last thing I say every night。”- - - - -“You don’t have to do anything for me，” I mumbled， feeling overwhelmed。 “I just want you。”“You have me，” he breathed， wrapping his arms back around my neck and hugging me tight。 I felt his lips move against my skin as he said， “From the moment we met， you have had me。”- - - - -I cherished every single moment I had with him， even the moments when we were simply existing within each other’s space， not doing anything of note。 Perhaps I cherished those moments the most。 。。。more

I was putting off reading this book after finishing Seraph， because I knew I'd have book hangover and was already dreading waiting for the next book， but the urge was too great and I gave in。This was a lovely romantic story and I especially loved how it was mainly from Lor's POV， which made the monster world feel so much more fleshed out。The angst was gut wrenching， the romance sappy and gooey， just how I like it， and the sex scenes very steamy。 I wished we got a bit more of the cultural exchang I was putting off reading this book after finishing Seraph， because I knew I'd have book hangover and was already dreading waiting for the next book， but the urge was too great and I gave in。This was a lovely romantic story and I especially loved how it was mainly from Lor's POV， which made the monster world feel so much more fleshed out。The angst was gut wrenching， the romance sappy and gooey， just how I like it， and the sex scenes very steamy。 I wished we got a bit more of the cultural exchange between Lor and Jugs （such as Jugs showing Lor human music）， and got to know Jugs a bit more （he felt a bit flat without hobbies or things he liked to do in his own time）， but all in all this was a very nice story， as is the standard by now for this series。I can't wait for Cat and Lyri's story， super excited to read it when it comes out！ 。。。more

3。4 stars。 I have to admit that this was the first book in the series that I did not really enjoy but mostly finished in order not to lose the "red thread" - perhaps because I did not really connect with "Jugs" （the name！）。 He was asleep for most of the book anyway 。。。 Lor was cute， though - and I very much appreciated that he finally grew into the ruler he was meant to be。 The steam was， well， very steamy （which made up for some lengths）， and I would actually love to see an illustration of Lor 3。4 stars。 I have to admit that this was the first book in the series that I did not really enjoy but mostly finished in order not to lose the "red thread" - perhaps because I did not really connect with "Jugs" （the name！）。 He was asleep for most of the book anyway 。。。 Lor was cute， though - and I very much appreciated that he finally grew into the ruler he was meant to be。 The steam was， well， very steamy （which made up for some lengths）， and I would actually love to see an illustration of Lor decked out in his tinkling finery 😉 But Lyri is my favourite vint character already and I can't wait for his story 。。。 。。。more

El mejor libro de esta serie （que de por sí ya amaba） y el primer 5 estrellas del 2023 ⭐。 Nada sorprendida que haya sido de esta saga， cuando la trama principal de la misma es una invasión de monstruos en un futuro distócico donde la humanidad escasea y solo queda enamorarse o morirse。 Cuando digo que Lor ha sido el mejor libro de esta saga， me refiero al nivel de complejidad que ha usado Lily para describir al mundo de los monstruos desde donde este libro narra （TODO SUSECE DEL OTRO LADO DEL VE El mejor libro de esta serie （que de por sí ya amaba） y el primer 5 estrellas del 2023 ⭐。 Nada sorprendida que haya sido de esta saga， cuando la trama principal de la misma es una invasión de monstruos en un futuro distócico donde la humanidad escasea y solo queda enamorarse o morirse。 Cuando digo que Lor ha sido el mejor libro de esta saga， me refiero al nivel de complejidad que ha usado Lily para describir al mundo de los monstruos desde donde este libro narra （TODO SUSECE DEL OTRO LADO DEL VELO） y a la compleja "monarquía" que lo rodeaba。 Y ESE NIVEL PERFECTO DE AZÚCAR PARA ESE ROMANCE， PFFFFF。 （enamorada de los dos protas） El nivel perfecto de romance para mantenerte enganchado y la justa medida de una fantasía política para mantenerte intrigado， con su justa medida de una poco de dolor， para que no creas que ser rey es fácil en cualquier mundo en el que te encuentres。PD: No te inquietes， que los personajes que ya conocemos tienen su guiño。 。。。more

It was nice to see everything that was going on from the other side， and the 80s vibe was fun。 I knew what was coming， and it still gave me sad feels for the title character。

This pains me so much。 The Monstrous series is one of my all-time faves and I loved every book that came out。。。 until this one。 Was it bad？ No。 Was it too long and boring？ Yes， yes it was。 It was 200 pages too long and too much waffling and sitting in meetings and whatnot。 The last start of the book was good， and the last quarter was great as well but in the middle。。。well， that was a lot of filler！This feels a bit like a filler book to bridge over to Lyris book who I can't wait to read more abou This pains me so much。 The Monstrous series is one of my all-time faves and I loved every book that came out。。。 until this one。 Was it bad？ No。 Was it too long and boring？ Yes， yes it was。 It was 200 pages too long and too much waffling and sitting in meetings and whatnot。 The last start of the book was good， and the last quarter was great as well but in the middle。。。well， that was a lot of filler！This feels a bit like a filler book to bridge over to Lyris book who I can't wait to read more about。 。。。more

Potential to be my favorite book in the series holy SHIT❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️Lor and Jugs are just adorable， and so sweet together。 This book is full of God damn PAIN but the HEA is believable， heartbreaking-ly good， and made me stay up all night as I tried desperately to get to it lmao。 Worth it。The writing is gorgeous！！！ Mayne's writing has always been wonderful to read， but Lor's pov is just so lyrical， so endearing， it made this book completely unique to the others in the series。 I loved seeing the mon Potential to be my favorite book in the series holy SHIT❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️Lor and Jugs are just adorable， and so sweet together。 This book is full of God damn PAIN but the HEA is believable， heartbreaking-ly good， and made me stay up all night as I tried desperately to get to it lmao。 Worth it。The writing is gorgeous！！！ Mayne's writing has always been wonderful to read， but Lor's pov is just so lyrical， so endearing， it made this book completely unique to the others in the series。 I loved seeing the monster world in full， little Easter eggs everywhere that connected us to the other monsters in the earlier books; the side characters were so lovable and so so good ahhh。 Lyri has my whole heart and soul， alongside the main couple Plus that ending 👀 the hints。 Of what is to come。 I can't frigging wait。 10/5 stars， even if you haven't read the other books for some reason， this book could easily be a first read too--a lot is introduced that we learn from the other books， plus more！！ （That being said pls read in order it just makes the little cameos all the more beautiful; yes I'm talking about Wyn and his little note to the Moric） 。。。more
