I think Kent did a lot of things well in this book, especially considering she normally writes MF romance. Niko and Bran were both really unique and compelling characters and I was rooting for them. I appreciated the trigger warnings, we knew that we were getting into from the jump.
I do wish she would have handled Niko’s medication issues differently. While some people do experience negative side effects from psychiatric medications, it isn’t typically to the extreme described (and usually that just means a lower dosage is needed). Because of so many people’s hesitancy to use psychiatric medications it’s frustrating to see an author write a stereotype that is rare and prevents people from using life saving medication. Especially when she handled all of the other mental health conditions with such care through out the story.
