bookterror 's review for:
Bound by the Past
by Cora Reilly
I was wondering what was going on in the Outfit, especially during Twisted Pride and this gave me what I was interested in.
For covering such a large time span, the book was not the best at telling us where we were exactly. It did focus on some important scenes but others were barely mentioned or brushed over despite being important.
Overall, I feel most of the joy I had while reading came from the fact that I (currently) have all the other books in good memory. Therefor, references, characters and actions got a broader context and were more settled into the world. The story does not really stand on its own like the others do.
Valentina is one of my favourite female characters in this universe and this book just confirms it. I struggled with so much in Bound by Love but none of that was a problem here. I could get behind their motivations and reasonings; Dante's fear and devotion for his family as a driving force moved the plot forward and Valentina is strong in both her morals and acceptance of the world that rules them. They overcome their struggles and work it out together.
