Book Review
The following review was originally published by Tera on her Blog, A Succubi's Tale on August 2, 2024
The foolish summon her at their eternal risk. Lilith, the most powerful of all Lilim brooks no fools. Her power unimaginable, she is not one to be toyed with. Especially when it’s her turn to carpool.
The work is a wonderfully well told story of need and desires, seen both from those around Lilith and within herself. The undercurrent of humour is just amazingly well done, the characters have life, purpose and their own stories to tell. It’s not exactly erotica as a whole, though there are scattered scenes which fit into the story extremely well.
The story focuses on Lilith, the succubus of the work, but there are many others around the edges of the story, as well as Lilith’s daughter who tell their own stories. There’s no question that all of the succubi are naughty, and are more or less evil as well. But that’s more of where the story takes them and who calls to them.
It’s not all evil, Lilith isn’t at all stereotypical by any means. She does have a focal point to her life, it’s one that matters to her. Other succubi might not quite understand it, but it gives Lilith a depth of character which I completely adored. There’s a very familiar aspect to that character in her that hooked me and kept me turning the pages to see what would happen next.
Lilith’s more wonderful aspect is her humour, the internal monologue that carries the story from time to time. Beyond that, how she deals with those that summon her is perfect. Her power is clear, but at the same time there’s a seed of self-need which she returns to and captured my imagination.
The story is a bit scattered however in what threatens the succubi, which is something I won’t spoil. Given all else in the story otherwise for plots, it might not have had to be part of things. Save for one scene were who Lilith truly is within herself matters the most. The work does move very quickly nonetheless and perhaps a bit more time spent with Lilith’s family is what’s missing here. We see a glimmer of that, but I’d have loved to see more and delight in what she has gained.
Four out of five pitchforks.
This is really just a lot of fun and overall a lot more than I expected from the book summary. The author really needs to make a better one to try and give a slimmer of the hilarity and story telling within the pages. Where things end however leaves a clear path to a follow on story and I hope that happens. Lilith and the other succubi are just a lot of fun and there’s so much story waiting to be brought out. Hopefully it will be, but if not, this is a work unexpected and well worth a read.
