So many unanswered questions and mystery, hoping they’re answered in the later books. 

The narration was at sometimes really annoying but for the most part I enjoyed the story and the info about the magic system. It’s something entirely unique and I’m interested in finding out more

Did I think the FMC was absolutely immature, bratty and generally annoying? Yes. Did I think the implication that the MMCs not raping the FMC somehow makes them honorable an abysmally low bar? Also yes. Did I still read the first 3 books one after the other before I gave up on all the repetitiveness? YES.

I really enjoyed this book! It kind of gave me slight Shatter Me vibes just with the Gifted & Resistance side of things which i loved! Even though Gryphon was an ass at the start, in the last quarter of the book he really started to redeem himself and became swoon-worthy! When he was in Olis dorm and bought her supplies & an eftpos card🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️🦋🦋
I didn’t like how self-centred most of the bonds were. like why couldn’t they have taken the time to get to know Oli and understand why she ran away?? Atlas did that with no problem, so why couldn’t the others?
The ending was a bit too fast and even thought it’s said to be left on a cliffhanger, it’s not the best cliffhanger i’ve read. i think there could have been more drama added, even if it was just an extra chapter. I also wish we got more background of Oli, and an explanation on how the Bonds work and some more info on the Resistance ect..
Oli is an absolute witty, strong, sarcastic boss bitch! she slayed the TT basement course, literally wiped the floor with those bitches😋 i loved her so much! i do have one thing i didnt like about her and that was how much she said “freaking”. i swear it was said at least once on every page :| like girl, just swear, we’re all adults here🤨 but there were also parts where the “freaking” wasn’t even necessary so that annoyed me a lot!
Overall i really enjoyed the book, i would have finished it a few days earlier but i was waiting for queen ashley to catch up👯‍♀️ but i ended up finishing it without her anyway LOL

I have heard many many things about ”Broken Bonds” within the past year & I am so excited to be beginning this journey! :)

I want to start off by saying that I adore the premise of this novel — it’s very original + interesting!

While the characters are also intriguing — I can’t wait to delve deeper into their personalities — there were times where they came across as being a bit juvenile? I wish there was better communication amongst all of the characters & not an absurd amount of mentions about things that Oli could never even think to share with her bonds (or the audience, for that matter).

ੈ✩‧₊˚

I am excited to continue the rest of the series & see how all of the relationships progress, though! ♡
