This book was boring for much of it, that ending though. A punch to the gut I didn’t see coming. I felt like things moved way too fast for her and North. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Draven brothers but still. Where’s the romance/ swoon worthy build up… also I hate how whiny Oli is. Oh and, did I mention I hate Atlas?

I find the plot as a whole too superficial to really care about. The motivations for the resistance aren't very clear or well-articulated: what are they resisting, if they are represented as super evil powerhungry
My main icks with the series are the same as with the previous books, though:
- The bonded group is way too possessive in every way. One bonded would like to lock Oleander away so no one else can even look at her, and another would prefer parading her around to show everyone that she is his. Oleander isn't much better herself.
- The men of the bonded group try to take away Oleander's agency in turns, and they often overlook the consept of consent completely in more than one area of life. They also joke about it (in the lines of "maybe you should have a gps chip again", for example). The bypassing of consent is represented as somewhat acceptable because it stems from the possessiveness and a want to keep the central bond safe. This is very offputting and problematic to read.
