This book was thrilling. It had me in a chokehold from start to finish. To be fair, you say omegaverse and I come running, and I’m fairly easy to please. But I loved fhe political landscape we for to experience and I’m excited to see where it goes.
A couple of things. The MFC has a lot of body dysmorphia due to neglect and verbal abuse, and an anxious attachment style ON TOP OF being an omega coming off heat suppressants for the first time. So some readers might see her a being super whiny and needy and annoying because she is constantly seeking reassurance from her alphas even when they’ve made it clear they want no one else.
Being a plus size woman with an anxious attachment style myself, I felt so seen lol. I am Josie without the whole Designation Center trauma and abusive family bit 😂 so. However I think Ms. Emerson wrote her panic attack scenes so well. I think a lot of people who haven’t experienced this would understand this type of person a lot more after reading these scenes.
The story did plateau for me right about the 65%-80% mark. There was a lot of character development and definitely some big plot points, but the action was pretty low compared to the beginning other book. However it ramped right back up at the end. And that section of the book was still a delight 🥵 to read.
