4/5⭐️ 2/5🌶️
I’ve been on a bit of a Rebecca Yarros military readathon and this is the final book. And I loved it (maybe not as much as the other 2 but it was still amazing).
We follow Camden, an ex military soldier who after 6 years returns home when his father is diagnosed with dementia, however no one in the town wants him back. He’s the towns enemy, the one who was reckless, and the one they believe got his brother killed. They all hate him, apart from Willow. She always saw the good in Cam, ever since they were children. But now they’re grown up, but the feelings they once shared threaten to resurface.
I really enjoyed this story. We got to see so many emotions from grief of a lost one but also grief for someone that is unwell and sadly losing themself. I really liked the small town aspect of everyone knowing everyone.
I loved willow, I loved that she stood up for what she believed in and didn’t back down when others told her to. That could have been because of Cam. He was such a rock and an empowering character. He literally didn’t care about what others thought and he proved to those who doubted him the type of man he was. I felt sorry for him to go through everything he did and still come out stronger.
Overall, I really enjoyed this story and once again I’m so happy to read Rebecca’s books and see how well of an author she really is!
