I like where the story is going and I'm excited to see where it goes, but Elloren is very hard to like in this book. I understand that she comes from a sheltered place and has to learn everything, but I feel like more timeskips would have worked here. I liked the different POVs, but I felt like they were underused and sometimes only one single POV by a character could have been pushed into the next book where it could matter more.

I really really liked this book (as I am a Lukas Grey stan through and through) but there were some things that did bother me.
Some of the POVs felt a little pointless or maybe underused? Like we got Therrien and Sparrow in the beginning and then never again and we randomly got a Rhys POV who isn’t even a main side character. The absences of Diana/Jarod/Yvan were heavy losses in this book, and without the large cast of side characters that the previous books had, it made this book feel a little claustrophobic, as it was just Lukas and Elloren for the majority of the book.
ALSO can I just say that killing off Lukas CONVENIENTLY right before she realizes Yvan is alive is a COP OUTTTTT. I want the drama!!! The confrontation!!! Make the girl make a difficult choice for once in her life!!! Also I was just hurt by Lukas’ sacrifice because he has become such an interesting character and seeing him interact with the rest of the side characters would have been so fun.
But on a more positive note, the scenes between Lukas and Elloren in this book were IMMACULATE and I loved watching their relationship grow as well as seeing the pay offs of Lukas’ character development. He is a well-rounded and compelling character with many complexities and it shows.
Anyway Lukas baby I’m so sorry they use and abuse u i would never treat you like that RIP to them but I’m different
