C/W: Sexist language, slut-shaming
I read the entire trilogy over two days and this was my least favourite book. Spoilers ahead.
Tenny, I never thought I could love a lead more, she seriously is my favourite person of the series right down to her love of using complicated words. So yes, I was excited for her when she decided to move on from Dom.
The thing is Tenny has loved Dom for years and, as much as Dom has supported her, it was always so that her life revolved around him. Dom annoyed me, as a person, a leader and is someone who doesn't seem to realise that although him and Tenny have a close relationship: she did the waiting and is allowed to move on.
Unlike the other couples of the series, I don't see their relationship with each other as good for either of them. But that's just me.
There is sexist language and slut-shaming, which seems to be a common thing in this trilogy. So if that is a big "no" for you then I wouldn't suggest picking this story up.
