My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I first read this book I was a little leery sine I don’t read MM very often, but I’m really glad I picked up this book. The chemistry between Gilgamesh and Enkidu was absolutely beautiful. It is by far my most favorite LGBTQ+ book to date. The healthy polyamory that is depicted between Gilgamesh and his wife Shamat and her relationships made me absolutely weep for joy. Those two are a forced to be reckoned with. I have never heard the story of Gilgamesh, so reading this book was very interesting! Although that cliffhanger at the end???? Definitely took me out. I loved, and laughed and absolutely wanted to throttle the characters a few times in the book, but what good book doesn’t make you want to do that? The word and character building was phenomenal and I can’t wait to see how it ends!

This was a very interesting book. I dove into it because the synopsis sounded interesting and the cover was beautiful. I was not disappointed. i found the story kept me totally engaged. I had never heard of of this myth so this was quite new. The Beauty and the Beast retelling was cool. The characters were quite fascinating. There’s a bit of everything in here. It was a entertaining read.

In the Midst of Omens is a loose retelling of Gilgamesh a mythological fantasy reminiscent of Beauty and the Beast with a LGBT twist. It is not only a MM romantasy tale it also has Polyamorous relationships. Nicole blends mythology, fantasy and romance into a vivid world of gods of ancient times. She has pulled mythological legends from dusty old books and given them a new lease on life and voices.

The characters are complex and well written. It is a darker slow burn romantic tale of Gilgamesh and the different dynamics and various relationships. Enkidu is an endearing character with his actions and Shamhat kicks ar$e and takes no prisoners and fights for what she wants.

It is a world of action, battles, mythical creatures, passion and more. I also enjoyed the historical value of the mythological king from ancient Mesopotamian times the man behind the story. It did end on a cliffy, but there is a book two coming.

In the Midst of Omens was an interesting tale and one for those who love mythology, retellings and LGBT romance stories. As this is book one of The Legacy of Gilgamesh I am interested to see where it goes.
