One female heroine, most often surrounded by a large group of men striving for her – this is the core of a reverse harem novel . Not everyone may like such a convention, but I am one of its fans, so I must admit that I practically absorbed the Trickery in just a few emotional hours.
I’m unlucky, but somehow I’m alive
Will’s main character has been fighting for survival every day for eighteen years. For whenever it appears, chaos breaks out there. Slips, falls, fractures, burns – whatever injury you can imagine, the girl has already suffered it more than once (and if someone was there, she was also hit). Being a walking catastrophe with a very explosive character and sharp language is unlikely to win fans of Willa, so when a small deception turns out that she is about to leave her hometown, almost everyone who knows her breathes loudly with relief.
It is worth mentioning here that Will is an Earthwoman – that is, an ordinary girl, without any super skills and powers, and lives in a world where it is not a very good position. For society is divided into individuals like her and into Sol – powerful persons, who are a kind of exalted ones. This is not the end, however, as Sol can additionally advance to become true gods after death. Each representative of this “better” group is trained in an institution called Bożylas, and in order for the process to proceed pleasantly for all adepts, they have Earthlings at their service (and at every nod).
But let’s return to Willa. We meet the girl shortly before she and her foster sister Emma receive the honor of being assigned to the Divine Forest. Of course, no one expects that instead of another obedient cleaner-washer-waitress at the academy, a walking demolition will appear, which will shake the walls of the facility more than once.
Lots of entertainment, lots of handsome guys
The characters in harem stories are usually structured so that every reader or readers will find someone for themselves. So we have the main character, an attractive and at the same time clumsy, loud and character Willa with a tendency to overuse vulgarisms in her emotions. She accidentally gets caught up in skirmishes between the gods and the five obnoxious and feared Ablaby brothers in God. They are the harem – handsome, tall, mysterious and empowered men are described both in terms of character and appearance, so that we have no doubt that there is no force in the world that would resist them. Deception, Persuasion, Seduction, Strength and Pain – these are their names (as you probably guessed, related to their supernatural abilities). All five of them are literally shaking the school, and until Willa appears, there is no one to control them. However, when the subversive eighteen-year-old girl enters the Abklęty’s life, shocked and curious, they immediately succumb to her strange and unusual charm. The relationships in this group are, on the one hand, marked by sexual tension, a kind of competition and attempts to dominate, and on the other hand, they can be filled with abstractly funny scenes (especially when Willa, for various reasons, shines with the shin of her body). However, no one is chosen here, as it happens in a normal romance, and everything takes place on the border between intense friendship and seduction (which will surely appeal to readers and readers who prefer the stage of chasing a bunny). who would be able to master them.

Even after quick regeneration, sometimes scars remain
The book Eve and Washington provides a lot of joy and good emotions in reading. Unfortunately, it also has some weaker features. What I missed in it was, for example, a more extensive character development, because neither Willa nor the Abklęci brothers do not work on their characters in any particular way. They do not draw conclusions from past situations, make similar decisions and (especially the main character) keep making the same mistakes. It is possible that this is due to the chaos following Willa, but I am not convinced by this explanation. However, I hope that it will improve in the next volumes. Also, the idea for the main conflict is quite shallow, and if it weren’t for the novel’s humorous background and romance, it wouldn’t have kept me with me until the last page. I perceive the opponents’ creations as not very well developed, which, combined with the above-mentioned elements, gives us the image of a novel that was created primarily to provide entertainment in an uncomplicated way (and flush on the face during scenes with the ABCs), and not to encourage us to think. Is it something bad? Not. Such books are also needed sometimes.
It is worth noting that despite the profanity used in the statements, the novel itself is suitable for young people. There is only a little kissing (no sex scenes), cuddling and chemistry between the characters, but nothing else.
So many more brothers ahead of me!
Curse of the gods. Trickery is a comedy story full of handsome characters. It is certainly not a book for everyone or a representative of higher literature, but I definitely do not regret reading it. I had a great time reading, and after finishing it, I eagerly picked up the next volume. Fans of this genre will surely like it, and people looking for light entertainment with a large dose of humor will certainly find something for themselves.
