Thank you KreacherTheFlamingNorthPoleDancingElf
I've had this one for a couple of years waiting to be in the mood for it. Not sure I was in the right mood but it took me a while to get into it. There were parts I really enjoyed and these parts I powered through, but there were also parts I struggled with, so found this one really hard to rate.
I like the guys together and individually, although Adares annoyed me at times with some of the things he did near the end. I felt like there should have been some more animosity between the two at the start. Regardless if Rus didn't want to be there, they were on opposing sides and I'd was expecting a bit more of the enemies to lovers theme.
Rus I liked. He did what he did and had his own morals and values he kept to. I felt for him at the end as his friend's reaction made him feel bad and kind of cemented what he believed of the tribe and his place in it. I'm glad they talked things out and patched things up.
Adares was also a good character, and I did work out his secret at the start. I just felt like his narration slowed the story down for me. I seemed to prefer it when Rus was narrating. I wasn't keen on the way he treated Rus near the end, it was very pressuring, but at least he apologised.
While parts of the story were good, it seemed to be missing something for me.
