I had a hard time with this one but I'm starting to realize because there is a huge miscommunication trope. Thus seems to be a huge part of orc culture in every book so far which comes off in the form of gaslighting and manipulation but by the end is made apparentto be the fault in differences of culture. This particular one has even more miscommunication between the orcs themselves so that was another level of what appeared to be deceit and lies.

Each time I push through, everything wraps up nicely and falls neatly into place with the FMC and MMC working things out and realizing they are lost without each other.

Oh my lord.... Skipping to this book was the best choice I ever made. I was pretty put off reading book 1, but when I heard John Ka was a little kinky I ran straight to this one. The book especially resonated with me because I had a similar thought process to Rosa in a past (toxic and chaotic) relationship; it was crazy to read how spot-on Finley Fenn is in that regard. Learning more about the orcs and some of the characters' backstories certainly tugged my heartstrings. I did not expect the emotional rollercoaster ride that is the last 30% of this book, flip-flopping between hot and heavy to just heavy *cries*. I'm not sure how I'll move on to the next book after all that, John Ka is my fav.
