I loved this. The world building is great. The contrasts between City/Country aren't too cliche. The only thing that was weird there was referring to men as "mother" and "grandmother", when there's also females around. It was just a mindtrip. I mostly liked the Alpha/Beta/Omega dynamics. The main relationship between Antonio and Ethan is insta-love, but it works so well in this world and this book. It's very believable. I like how Ethan stood up for himself. He didn't cave on his dreams for his life. I liked the added layer with Dmitri/Ben/Robbie. What I didn't like is the teacher. I hated him and how he got away with everything. There was no punishment. No justice. No comeuppance. Just smugness. I hated that Ethan still didn't get that he didn't do anything wrong. That he wasn't an ex. But that's just one wrong thing, in a book full of right things. I don't know if I'll continue the series. The one mm version vs one mf version is interesting but I don't know if I want to read it though I did like all three of the characters.
