Description
When she was young, Wakako had a master. Others called her Lady Saint. The Saint had skin like ice and bones like jade, beautiful beyond human. She appeared cold on the outside, but spoke softly and gently. Others said the Saint was destined to be offered to the King as his queen, sacred and inviolable, and that commoners like them should keep their distance. “Are you leaving?” the Saint said calmly. “Only you will talk to me.” Wakako couldn’t bear it, so she held her hand and solemnly made a promise: “I won’t leave. I’ll stay with you.” The Saint was stunned, then nodded. Life is unpredictable. Later, during political turmoil, the Saint disappeared and was rumored to be dead. Wakako became a decorated mercenary, but she still couldn’t forget her former master. During an urgent mission, she was forced to drink with her target and was subsequently drugged. When she woke up, she found herself tied up and unable to move. Opening her eyes, she saw the snow-white skinned Saint in front of her, her features seeming to radiate a divine light, making one want to submit at her feet and become her devotee. Wakako had never been able to forget that face. “Explain yourself,” the delicate Saint commanded. Just as expected, the Saint had blossomed into an Omega, as ripe and alluring as a crimson cherry. Her pheromones, released without restraint, instantly made the knees of the Alpha, who had never touched a woman before, weak. She crouched down, looking at the flushed Wakako: “You know what the punishment will be if you don’t.” For as long as she could remember, Miki had lived like a puppet. Her family told her she was the most noble Omega, destined to become the King’s Queen. She had to be impeccably behaved, memorize noble etiquette, and learn how to please the King. But no one truly cared about her. Until she met that girl, the clumsy, silly Alpha. Despite knowing nothing, she laughed without a care in the world, fearless and bold, promising to take Miki away. It was the first and only time Miki had ever wanted to hold someone’s hand. And she never intended to let go.

My Thoughts on Nine Summers of Divine Punishment
"Nine Summers of Divine Punishment" is a wild ride, a dark and delicious exploration of love, obsession, and power dynamics that kept me hooked from beginning to end. It's a story that's not afraid to delve into the complexities of its characters, particularly the unusual relationship between Wakako, the stoic alpha bodyguard, and Miki, the yandere omega Saint.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the unique premise: a master-servant relationship with a significant power imbalance, flipped on its head with an omegaverse twist. I was immediately intrigued by the promise of a complex and emotionally charged narrative. The early chapters delivered on that promise, setting the stage for a story filled with political intrigue, divine intervention, and, of course, plenty of spicy moments.
What Works Well
The heart of this novel lies in the relationship between Wakako and Miki. Their dynamic is incredibly compelling, filled with possessiveness, yearning, and a love that borders on toxic. I found myself completely invested in their journey, even when their choices were questionable. The author does an excellent job of portraying their individual struggles and the ways in which their pasts shape their present. Miki's character, in particular, is fascinating. She is a Saint, revered by all, yet trapped by her role, yearning for freedom and genuine connection. Wakako's unwavering devotion, her desire to protect Miki at all costs, is equally captivating. The world-building is also noteworthy, with its intricate political landscape and the ever-present influence of the divine. The action sequences, presented as trials, are well-written and suspenseful, adding another layer of depth to the story.
Areas of Concern
While I thoroughly enjoyed the novel, I did find myself wishing for a more fleshed-out conclusion. The ending felt somewhat rushed, particularly in regards to the divine plotline and the resolution of certain side plots. I felt that Miki's transition into becoming the new divinity could have been explored more thoroughly. Some of the side characters felt like they deserved more attention, and I would have loved to see their stories expanded upon. Additionally, Wakako's insecurities sometimes dragged on for too long, which became a bit frustrating.
