So Lauren woke up and was like lemme choose violence today.
3 Stars
After thinking on it a while last night and this morning, I think I'm going to settle on 3 stars.
In a nutshell, this was a disappointing installment. I felt that Roberts relied too heavily on the romantic relationship between Kai and Pae and didn't move the story along enough. That's not to say that 3 stars is a bad rating because it's not, I did love some aspects of the story.
But it felt inadequate. Look, I'm all for the relationship between these two but I felt like it came across a little surface level and lacking depth considering how book 1 ended. There has to be a wider range between these two. Take us through it, gut us. Leave us in limbo for a while.
The anger and resentment they felt towards each other felt like a joke. Not figuratively, literally- like hehe haha. Pae seemed emotionally flat when it came to Adena. A little less banter and 'ocean eye gazing' would have gone a long way here.
So Mac just dropped off the face of the earth for this book?
No sufficient mention of Adena? After the ending of Powerless and after Powerful? Pretty cold.
The ending was a let down for me considering it's an easy wrench to throw into the mix.
I'll come back and refine this review later - kinda just throwing some thoughts out this morning.

'For the reckless souls who dare to love and be loved.'
'This girl is the very thing I can't seem to escape- can't seem to go anywhere without the remnants of her following. Where I am, she is. Whether it's in the flesh or in the fragments of my mind... She is my inevitable.' 🥹😭

"'And then those ocean eyes crash into mine. It's electric, this look, though not like it used to be. The invisible tether between us is now charged with our past, our present, our future - with everything we once were and everything we now are. It's a hostile sort of harmony, both of us finally fully aware of what we are to each other - nothing. Just a shell of what was; what could have been.' 🥺"

" She's unbearable, really. But not in the way that makes it any easier to look away. No, everything about her is a bold sort of beauty, like a rose proudly displaying its thorns. She's alluring in the way that most deadly things are. It's captivating. No, No, it's terrifying. It's supposed to be terrifying, still thinking of her as something I'm trying to deserve. "

I originally put the countdown up in January lol.
The bold is the dedication, yes. The quote is a Kai quote.
