i knew i wasn't gonna gaf about their story since the first book where they were hinted bc i just hate the tropes/dynamics but it truly is a testament to cate c wells' writing that i managed to still enjoy this overall. it did take a while because like i said i had no interest in these characters or their relationship whatsoever but i think even though their relationship bored me the book itself still managed to grab me. wells writes tension and layers characters well, and the prose and dialogue was written well as always. i only read this for the sake of getting to the next book but i would still recommend it to others because most of the issues i had with it were because of my own preferences more than the quality of the book.

I was really excited for Mari and Darragh’s story but it did not deliver for me. I think we had way too many Mari POVs, not enough groveling and there were a lot of plot holes.

Mari was a spitfire just like Una. I really need Kennedy and Annie's stories. Like, now. Darragh, I liked you more than Cadoc but you didn't grovel nearly enough as Killian. I get why you did it, but still, my guy. This is a Groveling Man list. Get to groveling! You did build her a house, so points to you.

Fun. I can always count on CCW to write a silly man brought low by his own hubris.

5 million stars!! I loved this soo much. Darragh and Mari had my attention from the first book. This was so sweet. I loved all of the layers to Darragh and that we got to see his character explored so much. He’s a total sweetheart.

CW: discussion of sexual assault (off-page), abduction, violence, death, pregnancy, suicide, 

This was slightly different than the other rejected mate stories. Both Darragh and Mari had a lot of baggage that they had to work through that affected how they accepted and didn't accept the mate bond. I thought Mari's resistance to the mate bond after Darragh purposefully botched things was pretty impressive. I, also, thought her conflict about some of her feelings after they got back together ran true. I really appreciated her theory about Darragh's wolf, too.
