I'm so into this story but it is draggggginggg. Every moment of every day is detailed, and as a result we're still only like two weeks into the school year? And so many side characters are introduced that I just don't care about. I just want to get to get birthday already. The main characters' relationship is developing nicely, and I appreciate the slow burn after the bond hit so quickly, but other than that it just feels like it's dragging on and on with nothing truly happening. I don't know if I can handle two more books like this.
‼️ Irritations with minor SPOILERS ‼️
- WHY are the MMCs ready to tear apart anyone who calls her a slut in their presence, yet when a girl kisses Theo right in front of Cricket then her and her friend proceed to tell Cricket she needs to share Theo with them like the guys share her, and that they can teach her what he likes in bed, NO ONE STOPS THEM until Hollis finally has enough and says three words? Theo says nothing to them at all, and Cricket won't even give them a response which is a cop out. Also Theo's forgiven right away for his antics before and after that moment. I just can't with that.
- WHY is Cas constantly left out of important conversations? He's treated as less than in their pack and it causes more stress than was needed. How can these guys expect to have a poly relationship when they don't feel the need to be open and honest with everyone in the relationship? Theo also constant undermines him publicly due to his own jealousy. Also Cricket tells Theo that she thinks he's a great alpha and she's proud of him and how he'll be as a future head alpha or something like that but things like this don't show leadership.
- Seriously why are there so many characters? Nobody cares I just want to make it to the birthday already, lmao.
- Everyone's acting really crazy about Cricket but I have a feeling that has to do with her powers so I'll withhold judgement until later books.
