I was iffy about the continuation of this series after the end of the first book but gave it a shot anyways.

I think the development of Tobias and her relationship was rushed and the first book is basically pointless you could read this book by itself because I still knew nothing going into it! I wasn’t a big fan of Sean or Dominic either but at least their relationship was impactful on her character development book one. IDK disappointing based on the hype.

I got two words for this book, daddy issues. BUT I absolutely loved it! This book broke me. I’m at a loss for words. I loved Cecelia with Dominic and Sean, but they had nothing on Tobias. This series is turning into a favorite no matter how toxic and sad. I feel like so much happened in this book. Also, audio was incredible 🤌🏻

Exodus starts out where Flock ends. Enemies to lovers. 

She spent half of the book in a toxic relationship with Tobias and then the second half grovelling and begging for Tobias to take her back, blowing up her present life in the process. What I find really frustrating is her complete lack of growth and maturity. Six years later and she is still acting the same way she did when she was 19. Yes, she is pretty badass when it comes to her work, but she becomes a puddle around anyone in the Ravenhood. You would think that within that 6 years, she could have done some work on herself instead of just shoving it all down and ignoring it.

I appreciate that we finally figure out what the hell has been going on and get some background to the Ravenhood.
