I hope schmigadoon runs for 4 seasons as a quiet critical darling that gets accepted into the "you've seen this if you're into musicals at all" category

Ok so i just finished reading Promises and Pomegranates by uhhhh
*looks at smudged writing on hand*
Sav R. Miller
And i gotta say,
Not that bad actually. Like, there were some loose plot threads but it wasn't heinous.
However
What the actual fuck was with the constant insessant horny like it felt like every other page was smut while I was being drip fed the story where is my solid, concrete plot??
The more I think about this one the less plot i feel like there actually was, just like. Some character backstory and some serious misunderstandings and communication issues.
Spoilers ahead so stop reading if you actually want to read the book BUT
You got, a lot of background on Kallum, our "Hades" male lead, which, if i didnt already mention, this is a loosely hades persephone inspired romance. By saying this, there is a whole conflict point that we are actively leading up to is that Elena, our Persephone, has a narcissistic mother who fucked Kallum over a decade ago and groomed him??? Elena's youngest sister quite literally makes a groomer joke about the whole situation.
Unlike A Touch Of Darkness though, symbolism actually means something in this book, and things aren't typically mentioned simply for the sake of being there, save for pomegranates, but even THAT was because Kallum began calling Elena persephone, so she got a tattoo right under the fucking tit, she was genuinely obsessed.
I enjoyed the fact that we switched persepctives and it was established who's perspective we were reading each chapter, that was pretty good.
Also pretty good was the obvious enjoyment of bloodplay and marking?? Someone as your own. Very big possessiveness and jealousy issues in this whole book.
Elena also had her fiance murdered, right in front of her, and then got forced to marry Kallum right in front of the corpse of her husband. Kinda fucked up but later established that that DIDNT EVEN FUCKING TRAUMATIZE HER.
In fact, not a single death seems to traumatize anyone in the book. Because. Reasons I fucking guess.
What does kind of traumatize Elena specifically, who was the main reciever of traumatic events happening to her, such as, assult twice, finding out her husband fucked her mom, from her drunk narcissistic mom, getting kidnapped, you know. The works. What does not feel like it is properly touched on, is how that trauma affects her. It is like, kind of addressed? But not in any way that felt accurate.
And of course I know I cant expect the world from a trashy romance novel, it will not stop me from complaining at every chance I get.
Book was a solid like, 6.5 out of 10. Smut was great, characters were shallow, plot was attempted and kept up throughout the entire book, female lead wasn't completely insufferable! Not bad at all.
