It started off strong and had potential. But so many storylines unexplored like what happened to Medra before she arrived. And so many storylines that had no bearing on the plot. And the romance had so much potential and just fell flat. I have an idea how the 2nd book will be like and I’m not motivated to read it. I get the hype and I devoured the book because I wanted to know what happened but it all fell flat.

This book threw so many genres and tropes together that I was frustrated in Book One.... but then the characterization and plot and relationships were so good that I ended up mad about how much I liked it and how I'm actively looking forward to The Bond that Burns? Honestly this book shines in the way that it takes the dynamic between Medra and Blake and never disrespects it by glossing over their unique perspectives or watering them down. There are real consequences for decisions and actions, regardless of desires, and I respect the heck out of this book for that.
