One star off for Mykal, I hated him. Kael deserved a better partner. Their relationship was toxic and emotionally abusive. There is also a HUGE power imbalance, made more apparent when Mykal pulls rank and essentially reminds Kael of his lower societal ranking. This book had too many instances of Mykal throwing a tantrum and being abusive. How much of Kael's life is spent managing Mykal's temper tantrums? Does he feel obligated to in any way due to gratitude? Mykal's father took Kael and his human mother in and made sure Kael got the same education as Mykal. What would happen to him and his mom if he denied Mykal anything or angered him too much. These people feed, clothe and provide for his mother and him, CAN HE REALLY SAY NO? Would he and his mother have ended up out on the street if he didn't agree to be soul-bonded to Mykal? What about if he had rebuffed Mykal's romantic advances? With the way Mykal behaves with his EXTREME jealousy and other abuse he subjects Kael to I don't think Kael could say no to anything without some SERIOUS consequences. That makes me sick to my stomach because that is not love that is abuse. AND THE THING IS, THEY'RE NOT EVEN THE TWO MAIN CHARACTERS! TOO MUCH time was spent on the drama/abuse of their relationship.
I really hope the next book focuses a LOT more on Shara and Derron, you know, the two main characters. Less of Mykal the asshole please.
