°˖➴ nera; she’s fierce and loyal. she’s determined, courageous and unwilling to collapse even under unbearable pressure but her strength felt undermined by how much she still revolved emotionally around kai.

°˖➴ kai; a quintessential emotional fortress — deadpan, lethal and unfeeling. his cold, emotionless assassin persona could’ve worked but his emotional growth felt shallow.

ᢉ𐭩 they relied too much on ‘unspoken bond’ without doing enough work in the present to rebuild it. i wanted more tension and conversations but it was a lot of internal angst and vague longing.

ᝰ. it tried to juggle a lot; mafia politics, cartel wars, secrets and power shifts but it dragged. the flashbacks slowed the momentum and the climax felt too convenient.

Enjoyed this couple a lot! This story is heavy on the world building so make sure you read the series in order but it is nice to see all the pieces come together.

This was a very unique book in the series. I enjoyed it overall, but it didnt seem that Nera and Kai got to know each other very well over the years and the ending felt like it was just a blood bath. I would have loved to see Kai learn to read (maybe with Lucia) and Nera getting to finish her schooling. The time jumps and story jumps felt a bit jarring.
