This was my first MC type book and I can't say I'm excited for anymore. Huge plead for people to check out TWs. They were intense.
I enjoyed Mae's discovery of the world and her coming to terms with everything she has been through. I think Rider and Mae really helped each other in ways no one else around them could.
I couldn't get into Styx and Mae's love story. He didn't understand her in the slightest and she's been so traumatized the first sign of kindness sticks with her. If I'm being honest neither of them tried to understand the other.
The language throughout the book was a huge no for me. I didn't appreciate how the men talked about or treated the women- even calling the women they loved 'bitches'. Maybe this is a normal thing in MC style books but it definitely didn't work for me.
Overall I don't think this book was for me.
