Wow! This series is intense.
One of the main things I really loved about this series is the relationship between Kova and Ria is genuinely believable, the way their love is portrayed you can feel the chemistry and the angst and heartbreak in every scene. That being said…
I feel like the end was a bit rushed. She moves to Oklahoma and every year he sends her his journals filled with his thoughts about missing her and stuff, and three years later he shows back up and that’s it. We don’t get to see them come back together. We don’t get to see her finish her dialysis and get her transplant. We don’t get to see her father come to terms with their relationship, or her brother be okay with them being together.
He shows up at her door and the next chapter is the epilogue. I was a little bit disappointed because I’ve been invested in this couple for five books now for their ending to be rushed. I was happy we get to see them as parents. I knew Kova would be a great dad, and he is.
I was really hoping to see how things ended with Avery and Xavier (maybe they have their own story idk)
These books have been on my tbr for ages now so I’m glad I finally read them. I will say don’t plan on doing much of anything for a while if you’re going to bing this series like I did. lol I enjoyed reading it and I think if you’re into angsty, taboo, age-gap, and student/teacher type stories this ones for you.
I recommend you go in with an open mind and the knowledge that THIS IS FICTION. In the same way a Faerie that’s supposed to be 800 years old can be in a relationship with a 19 year old. Or a mafia boss can force an 18 year old to be his wife. Or the head of a biker gang can be in a relationship with a 17 year old.
None of these scenarios would happen irl and if they did nobody would just be okay with it, so if you’re gonna have a problem with one scenario or storyline then you gotta have it with all of them. If something is just not for you that’s understandable, everybody’s not supposed to like everything. Basically what I’m trying to say is lay off the judgement, and nobody is forcing you to read anything you don’t wanna.
