Most of this novella is plot we’ve already read, just with a different, but equally melodramatic, POV. There was really nothing interesting in this novella except that apparently when Adam’s brother is in danger he doesn’t care about Juliette anymore. He’s just a lot, and the prose was boring bc it didn’t have any of Juliette or Warner’s quirks to keep it lively. If I had to read a whole novel from Adam’s perspective, I don’t know if I’d make it, but thankfully this was super short.

I think I'm one of the few people that actually like Adam. Granted I've only read up to this novella, but I just don't understand why he gets so much flak. Although I do admit his character lacks a lot of personality, he does seem to be one of the few rational members of the group (sometimes). And I do think his feelings towards Warner and throughout the entire novella were justified. 

However, although I understand why he did it (James does come first and I love how much he cares for his brother), I'm still mad he didn't break barriers to go find Juliette. Like why was Kenji fighting more to find Juliette than Adam? The same guy that says she's the love of his life. Like I get it, family first, but he wasn't helping his case especially when they found out that Juliette is "dead" at the end of the novella.

adam’s kinda overhated imo

i love his love for james, sibling love is so important to me and even though i think he *is* awfully clingy to juliette, i can’t blame him.

as usual, i devoured this and i need to buy ignite me really soon.

Adam annoyed me. I hate the way he think Juliette is clueless and weak and can’t handle herself. And how he thinks she needs him. But i love Kenji and James and I feel really bad for Castle.
