Damon's story was hyped up so much, and it is truly super tragic. I found the resolution between Winter and Damon to be underwhelming though? There's a lot of nuance in their ... distaste... hatred... etc., but the resolution felt like a weird instant flip. Horrible pacing.
This book is long, filled with flashbacks (I hate flashbacks) for the first 50%ish, and the pacing was awful. I enjoyed seeing the redemption arc though.
