⭐⭐⭐⭐. 5 ARC Review
This book is so good the tension between Max and Ander is just perfect. I always loved Ander and his wittiness and this book just enhanced that love for him. This book has a mix of everything you can hope for. A mix of mythology and the modern world, sign language rep, LGBTQ rep, PTSD rep, mystery and romance. I liked meeting Max's siblings and their various personalities. I especially love Nox and even broody, quiet Quin.
This book is nothing short of a rollercoaster of emotions. Between Ander figuring out if he wants this amare bond with max, Max's dad hating Ander (read epilogue of Of Loyalties and Wreakage) and Enri resurfacing, you'll never be bored. There are so many sweet moments with Max and Ander that just make my heart so happy that Ander can feel safe and loved especially after a very abusive relationship with Enri. Mab will always have Andre's best interest at heart and love that for both of them but I'm also looking forward to her and Quinn's story or Stink Eye as she likes to call me. It's the grumpy reluctant friends to lovers for me.
All in all this book was a good read and I look forward to Of Hope and Blight.
