4.5 stars✨
"I will smother every emotion but the one that belongs to her. I will love her until I am incapable of the feeling.
She is the torture I may not survive."
Wow I was expecting to rate it just four stars but then the ending happened and OH MY GOSH CAN WE TALK ABOUT IT?! I NEED THE NEXT BOOK RIGHT NOW 😭😭😩
Let's get real here, this book has been getting some mixed reviews and tbf it is not you, it is most definitely the book. It is not for everyone. If you want some advances in plot? It doesn't really do that, that aspect is minimal. However, if you want some bonding, relationship development, and angst this is the one for you. I personally, loved that the author took time to build on Kai and Pae's relationship as the way the book ended felt A LOT more impactful.
I loved Kai and Pae's POV. The way they felt about things and the action sequences were good. Kitt's POV however fell flat for me. I was expecting him to be a bit darker, but I got mildly dark at the most. But I understand he is grieving and a responsibility was pushed on him that he wasn't yet fully prepared for. I can't wait to see what he plans to do in the next book. I AM NERVOUS AFTER THE WAY IT ENDED.. HELP 😭😭😩
One thing I really appreciated was Pae's father's journal. I liked the insight and the reveal cause OH MY GOSH 😩😩 I also liked to see Pae trying to cope with the loss of Adena. Kai and Pae coming to terms that they both did each other wrong. It's underrated. To understand someone so deeply the way these two did and people are calling their relationship development as "nothing happened?!" I AM SHOOK 🤯
I absolutely ate up the romance. It was perfect. The slow burn, the angst, the yearning, the banter all hit. Only one bed and only one horse were nice additions. That one gambling scene in this kinda gave Feyre and Rhysand's throne scene in the Night Court vibes, but only make it PG13 👀🤭
One thing that I was really looking forward to was Mak's character. I wasn't aware that he is supposed to be in Fearless and not this one. I was really hoping for a showdown of sorts between him and Kai/Kitt. That kinda bummed me which is why it's not a perfect read for me.
THAT ENDING IS KILLING ME 😭😭
SCREAMINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

i’m happy to find someone who loves this book bc everyone seems to hate it!!! i think it’s bc they r looking for a plot even though this book is mostly romance. you can tell by the writing and you are SO right when u say it’s not for everyone bc some people want plot and some people want romance and some people just want something to make them kick their feet while they read (i’m people).
THIS IS MAKING ME WANT TO READ IT, but idk why i'm stalling my time. Biding my time. Cuz i feel like i wanna read it when the hype slowly dies down idk why, just to make sure i'm reading it based on myself and what i think of it and not others

Kai and Pae had me giggling fr. I do admit I comes across as repetitive tho, but ate it up regardless lol. Am still thinking about that ending and it's been days 😭😭 Thanks so much 🩶

omg i was counting on your review because everyone seems to hate this book??
i agree! there was a lot more character development than plot development which was great for the cliffhanger! i just personally have a problem with character driven books rather than plot driven but that’s a me problem LOL
