I have conflicted feelings about this book, particularly about some of the aspects of how the characters disabilities were treated. There were a couple of time where the Phoebe talked about her blindness in ways I didn’t particularly like, and I would like to know how blind people (or anyone with better understanding of disabilities in that time period) feels about the book.
I loved James and Phoebe. Their relationship was adorable and I was very much looking forward to their book since reading about them in the previous book. I didn’t very much care for the kidnappings and Eve’s appearance in this book. Much like in the previous book, the intrigue and danger storyline made no sense. It didn’t add much to the story and just took away from seeing more of Phoebe and James develop their relationship. They were so cute together that I just wanted see more of them. I also found their love scenes weird. We only saw them from Phoebe’s perspective and the way it was described it felt very disconnected from James, like he didn’t talk or make noises at all, as if Phoebe was also deaf. You’d think a blind person would’ve described and felt the other aspects much more considering they can’t see. Their first time truly together was underwhelming and weird to be honest.
