Idk if I just ran through the series too fast...but I was a bit disappointed with the action parts of this book 🙈 I was expecting a bigger grand finally/final boss fight. It was still awesome and I love all the character development and the evolution of the bond group...but yeah I was expecting a bit more.

I think this was the first one without negative self-commentary on FMC's body? Finally!

Worthy end to the series, though reading it all in one go, it felt a little like this was jumping the shark a bit. I'm still not totally sure what the Resistance was resisting against, exactly, and why...? So that's annoying. Probably should have taken some breaks in between books to make it less intense though. 

But, lots of spice, some good scenes, twists, and turns, and emotions (

though Vivian's death was a bit unnecessary??

). Liked the HEA, and many many plus points for NOT being pregnant in the epilogue.

BOOK REVIEW : Let me preface this by saying the only reason this book has been given four stars was due to my absolute adoration of the series as a whole. This book on its own, however, had enough dislikable elements that resulted in a finale I can only describe as disappointing. With Silas now dead, we are introduced into the world of the reawakened gods, something that was described, battled and resolved, all in a single book. This was the biggest and most prominent issue for me, followed by Vivian’s unnecessary death, and the cease of character development entirely. I really wish that Tragic Bonds had been the conclusion to this otherwise incredible series, including a six part epilogue featuring a small, final perspective from each of the main characters.      

“At least I got to meet each of them. If only for a few moments in a thousand lifetimes, I got to know those who complete my soul.” 

Ultimately, Oli and her harem of stubborn, hotheaded, addictive men will always have my heart, this series living rent free on my list of all time favourites.

1.0

By far the worst in the series. Reading it was painful and I had to force myself to finish it because it’s the last book. 

The god-bonds are uneventful for how afraid everyone was. They were a waste of writing. 

We never quite get that reverse harem feel you’d expect. The hottest scene was Oli, Nox & North
