adventurous dark tense fast-paced

2.25

Nearly stopped reading when the twenty year old flirted with the sixteen year old, but my own inner sixteen year old wanted to know what happened to the wolf-hybrid soldier man, so I stuck it out. Not sure if I'll be finishing this series though. Insert Jupiter Ascending joke here.

Aggressive wolf love interest trope but fairytaleesk and space stuff.

Kai is still annoying, I don't understand him or his decisions. 
While I am a but of a sucker fo  the more awful abusive relationship garbage,  especially possessive wolf boys, I have less patience for it now, especially books directe at teens. It’s bad. If a boy is like Wolf, get him into therapy, don't become his "Alpha female" 🙄
Scarlet was pretty annoying with the "omg I wanna kiss you 💋 😘 " 

I loved Thorn. Cinder was mostly better, and I missed Aiko. 

As eye rolly as it is, I would have adored this in high school. And it is fun. 

Can't wait to get through the books I wanted to read years ago 😅

Oh also, gay wolf's apparently don't exist in this world.
