Emotionally destroyed. 10/10.
This book.
THIS BOOK.
If I was asked who in my life has inflicted the most emotional trauma on me, I would simply point at this book.
Granted, this was my introduction to SJMs work. Im kind of scared to read others now?
I just finished it and I’m sitting stunned, with that weird clarity I haven’t experienced since the finale of end game. Like so much has happened, and yet it all tied up so satisfyingly.
I remember when I started reading it, I didn’t have good feelings. I liked the world, but I didn’t really like the characters. Bryce was so prickly, and despite her trauma I was just getting pissed off with her. How that changed when Hunt came into the picture. Once things got going with them, I was rooting for them. You could cut the sexual tension with a butter knife, and the SCENES. The gun range. The SHOWER. I couldn’t handle it.
And knowing things would have to go to shit eventually…. My did that plot twist hit me like a freight train. I was shocked to my core seeing Hunt on that boat. I felt betrayed. And yet she’d hinted to it for a while, and thinking about it made so much sense to his actions.
I did anticipate he’d get sold back to Sandriel. But after that… everything, every time I thought I knew what was coming I was blind sided. Bryce offering herself- but then Ruhn SAVING her. The summit meeting. MICAH. Lehabahs moment, and all then putting their hands over their hearts brought me to tears. Then I had to put the book down for a hot minute when that bullet went into his brain. I thought surely that was the boss fight. But NO. So much HAPPENED. Hunt getting the chance to have his vengeance. I did wonder why that wasn’t from his point of view. Bryce, who I didn’t love but would now take a bullet for. What she went through. What Hunt did to save her. Everything. Just argh.
