katyanaish 's review for:
Strength
by Jaymin Eve, Jane Washington
Really loved this. I still think our main characters are missing some big connections that seem fairly obvious, but I don't even care, because I loved it.
Some spoilery bits, for discussion:
- This potentially makes Willa stronger than Staviti. After all, Staviti was just a dweller, but Willa was born half a god.
- I'm so happy she was able to raise Emmy. My heart was breaking, but I just could not imagine them not being able to move into eternity together as sisters.
- So the imprisonment realm is no threat to Willa, right? Unless someone manages to get her and all 5 of the boys at the same time, her whole soul will never be in there so she can always find her way back out. I wonder if the reverse is true for the boys - the piece of Willa they have will always let them find their way back out to her? Seems like that's probably a no, or Jakan could have been able to use Willa's mom to get out.
- So did Staviti just break Minatsol by sucking all the life out of it, to further empower the gods? Because when he was born it wasn't a wasteland, so something like that had to have happened. It begs the question: what IS the connection between Minatsol and Topia?
- How sentient IS Topia? It feels like something had a hand in bringing all these threads together. And I feel positive that the panteras gave Willa those chains knowing they'd be used on her, so she could talk to Jakan. I feel like that's why she got such a strong THIS IS A TRAP vibe from them.
- Guys, the dickhead thing was the best thing I've ever read. I was laughing so hard I couldn't stay upright on the couch. I nearly fell off it.
- Rau is going to be a problem, and Pica probably will as well. Only half his soul was in the imprisonment realm, and he said this wasn't over. I think Pica and Rau may be soul-bonded. And if Pica finds out that Willa killed Rau, I think she will FLIP.
- If Rau is able to come back somehow with his partial soul, I have to wonder: why don't ALL the gods soul-bond? Like, it seems like a major safety measure.
Really love this series. And I have to say, I'd avoided reverse harem as a genre because I hate love triangles, and so my assumption was that I wouldn't like this either. Also, my assumption was that reverse harem was exemplified by LKH. But I love this. It is beautiful and I love their relationship. I love how they anchor each other, and the open affection and heart.

- So Jakan is her father, right? Somehow? And her mother loved him ... I feel like the reason half her soul was in there with him was because they were soul bonded. And that also explains why she was such a mess of a mother with Willa and Emmy. I mean, her soul was torn apart.- This potentially makes Willa stronger than Staviti. After all, Staviti was just a dweller, but Willa was born half a god.
- I'm so happy she was able to raise Emmy. My heart was breaking, but I just could not imagine them not being able to move into eternity together as sisters.
