Review of Envy (The Elite Seven Book 4) by M.N. Forgy
This is my first reaction after reading Envy.
It's not that I didn't like Envy because I did, I just could not believe what actually happened in it. Sebastian is definitely envious. He wants the one thing he doesn't have - a woman to be madly in love with him.
"I have everything in life--riches, health, happiness--but I don't have the one thing I long for: a woman to be madly in love with me--a woman who would drop to her knees and wear a black crown marred from my family name just to be close to me. I'll whisper the terrible things I've done, and she'll love me anyway."
Um yeah...
I can't say I like Sebastian all that much. He's not just envious, he's needy, he's possessive, he's creepy, and inside he's like a hurt little boy who wants things he and throws tantrums when he doesn't get them. Yikes. And yet, there's something inherently readable about his story. It's by no means a romance or a love story, but it is interesting and entertaining. Envy is by far the most fitting of the series - where the main lead truly embodies his sin. The secret society aspect isn't expanded upon a lot here, but the ending certainly gives the impression that the next story will delve much more into The Elite Seven society. I hope so, because the secret society portion is what I'm really interested in knowing more about. I said in my review of Wrath that I'm not reading this series for the romance, and Envy makes me all the more glad of that, because the romance is nil here. But for what Envy is, it's pretty good. It's edgy, more than a little creepy, and the cliffhanger just made me want more!
