I did really enjoy reading this and loved Leon and Rae as a couple, but they make such idiotic choices over and over again (especially Rae) that I kept rolling my eyes and groaning while continuing to read. There were some confusing plot holes at the end as well (why does Kent let them go at the end? Why doesn’t Jeremiah kill Rae before throwing her into the mine? Why is this the generation that needs to be sacrificed?)
Even though Rae’s lack of self preservation is acknowledged as her primary personality trait, and it’s revealed that there is a (not well foreshadowed) reason she is that way, her sass towards Leon felt unearned because of it. And her reasons for not taking the bargain sooner seemed flimsy especially in the face of so many of her peers making bargains with seemingly no qualms. Truly the epitome of a TSTL heroine.
That said I did enjoy the writing, and still had a fun time; I’m interested in Juniper and Everly’s stories, and plan to continue with the other standalones in this series!
