Kai is still annoying, I don't understand him or his decisions.
While I am a but of a sucker fo the more awful abusive relationship garbage, especially possessive wolf boys, I have less patience for it now, especially books directe at teens. It’s bad. If a boy is like Wolf, get him into therapy, don't become his "Alpha female" 🙄
Scarlet was pretty annoying with the "omg I wanna kiss you 💋 😘 "
I loved Thorn. Cinder was mostly better, and I missed Aiko.
As eye rolly as it is, I would have adored this in high school. And it is fun.
Can't wait to get through the books I wanted to read years ago 😅
Oh also, gay wolf's apparently don't exist in this world.

Content warnings at the bottom. :)
I remember reading this like 4 times in high school. It was my favorite of the series. I love Scarlet and Wolf, I love the French setting, and I hate tomatoes but this book made me want to like them.
Wolf and Thorne are my two favorite characters, and I love them for different reasons. Wolf is the epitome of “I can fix him” and gentle with the people he cares about while being absolutely terrifying to everyone else. This is for sure what molded my love life, at least when it came to men. Thorne is just…he’s a himbo, no thoughts only crime, and he cracks me up.
Iko as the Rampion was fantastic, even if it was a little fatphobic. She didn’t have to talk so bad about how big she was all the time, but Meyer did an excellent job describing how she emotes while an actual ship.
Anyway. Once again, Meyer has a hard time with setting, but with Scarlet and Wolf visiting very specific French places, it’s a little easier to picture, but I wish she would allow herself to be more descriptive with the settings.
Rating: 5
Would I recommend? Yes, especially if you enjoy moon people, quippy robots, and sci-fi fairytale retellings.
