Not that I wasn’t disappointed on occasions. Imagine being able to write pulpy non con: that’s kind of special, right? Can’t say that I don’t love Henry’s blend of depraved and dirty, juicy fun in Tribute!
I wasn’t sorry.Īnd this may sound weird, but Henry has such an entertaining writing style that I wanted to grab a bowl of popcorn and happily munch my way through another rape scene instead of gag and shudder. Narrator Prince Kynon didn’t crawl underneath my skin, thus ensuring that I was merely a spectator and didn’t have to join him on his sickening roller-coaster ride. Partly because the characters remained a little distant, I was never terrified. And yet… not nearly as cruel as I had anticipated. Not in the conventional sense anyway, ha! Harsh, porn-packed pain and humiliation and master/slave dynamics is what you get instead. There’s nothing beautiful or swoon-worthy about Tribute. Although I recommend taking the warnings into account.If only because you won’t have to end up feeling obliged to 1 star this book for it not matching your expectations of beautiful submission and star-crossed lovers love. You can read the blurb for yourself, so I’m going to skip summarizing the plot today. And what better book to choose then Tribute to do so? It has dub/non con, a bit of torture and a whole lot of humiliation, D/s and creepy, abusive fuckers in abundance. Since dating cruel bastards with little to none redeeming qualities would kind of interfere with this wholesome, little life I lead these days, I will just have to still my cravings through my reads. I was so thrilled to read Tribute! It fits perfectly into my master plan to.*cough*.‘professionalize’ my depravity. And, to be the tribute that Brasius wants him to be, Kynon will have to defy all the traditions of Segasa and risk the wrath of the senate that really holds his chains. On an enforced journey of self-discovery, Kynon learns that being the warlord’s tribute isn’t just about submission.
The warlord might just want the man underneath: the prince, the soldier and the tribute, if Kynon can figure out who that is. He can live with the shame it’s the mind-blowing pleasure that frightens him.īut the warlord wants more than a tribute who will respond eagerly to whips and bondage. If his slavery will save his father’s kingdom, then he will be a slave and submit to every indignity the warlord and the senate of Segasa require of him. BLURB: When the fearsome warlord Brasius chooses Kynon as his tribute, Kynon tells himself it’s the price of peace, and that he can endure anything.
